Help Tach drive

[kjsamm]

Not sure where to post this, hope im in the right spot. Does anybody know where I can get a tach drive eliminator/plug for my 83 850GLD?

The 2004-2006 GS500 moved to an electronic tach and had a plug here instead of the tach fitting. Earlier models had a cable, later models just left the hole in the casting undrilled.

Look on the cylinder head fiche for the 2004-2006 GS500 -- there are many places to order Suzuki parts. Partshark.com is a good one.


The relevant parts are:

The plug:
16 TACHOMETER HOLE
26442-45000
Only $10 - $12 depending on where you get Suzuki parts.


We know the plug is the same diameter because the seal band is the same part number as most 70s-80s GS models. You will want to replace this as well.
18 SEAL BAND
26451-45000

You may also need a new lock plate and screw if these parts are damaged or missing from your bike.

Long time coming but thanks. Finally got around to ordering those parts and installed them today. Fit like a glove. Thanks again.

I took mine off,gutted it, and used quickweld 2 part mixable putty filled it all in, sanded it pretty and painted it.just a thought. WHy buy it when you can make it theory for me.Never leaked either

Would this plug also work on a 78 GS 750?

It should -- it's the same diameter as the GS850.
