    Oil pressure sensor lead trouble

    1981 GS750E.

    I could not remove the lead from the sensor during an oil change today. I expected that I could. The thing won't let a phillips head grab and the nut is worn enough that my wrenches wouldn't fit.

    I looked in the parts fiche and it doesn't show the lead separate from the sensor. Is that correct? I remember being able to remove the cover from the bike so that I could clean it off better. What I don't remember doing is taking off the entire sensor.

    Any thoughts on removing a stuck lead?
    Can an impact be used on that screw? A pair of needle nose pliers? If I have to replace it, would that mean the entire part? Would it mean draining all the oil?

    Does anyone have a parts fiche that shows the thing apart?

    Like always, thanks.

      The entire plate comes off with two screws. No need to drain the oil.

          why do you need to remove it just for an oil change? is it on the top of the crank cases as on the gs1000?

              It's under a cover on the front of the oil filter cover on the 16V motors.

                  ahhh, sorry mate wasnt sure. on my gs1000 its just on a small plate on top the cases, under the carbs.
                  is there enough slack on the wire to cut it off at the switch so you can remove it from the bike? then you can have a better chance on your work bench to remove the screw. then fit a new connector to the wire

                      I don't know if that's so easy. The header is in the way of the front of the motor. With stock pipes, I'd have much more room. Plus this is my work bench.

                      I hesitate to plan anything significant on it.

                          I would use a good ser of pliers or vice grips to get it off, then replace it with a new screw. Mine is kinda messed up as well, but I get by.... Hard place to get to as well especially if you have an aftermarket header
