Screw question.

[julien]

Hello All,

The two screws that keep the gear indicator (the piece between the speedo and tacho) together are missing on my GS650G. Does anyone know what type/size I should use?
One may say that any screw that fits in there is "good" enough but I would rather not mess the thread up.
I know I owe you folks some pics... I will do my best to post some soon (the truth is that I haven't taken any yet)
I did insure and register the bike today though.

Thanks.

Julien-

I think it is a 5mm screw but it could be a 6mm on that bike. Anyone else? Ray.

You could just order the NOS screws from somewhere like flatout. I just looked at the fiche for a 1981-82 gs650g, model z and the two screws for the indicator position display are like .84 cents each. Honestly, since you are using the gear indicator display in the original speedometer/tachometer housing, I would just see what you have at home and what will work. As long as it fits, how could one strip it?

I will take a look when I get off work tonight, sure it is a small metric screw probably a M4 or M5 with fine threads. By the way, welcome to GSR. Basscliff has a great website with a downloadable service manual for the 650g models, sure he will find you if he hasn't already.

Just went out and looked at bike, can't get to screw without messing with headlight. Hopefully someone else has a cover sitting around that could measure one.

Hi,

#22 in the picture? You need 2 of them. Part# 03511-03146. About a buck at most online OEM places.




Sorry, I couldn't find any generic specifications for it.

Thank you for your indulgence,
