    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

10 Points to Whoever Can Name this Mystery Part(s) I Found in my Bike

Ok ... cleaning up the engine on my GS650G basket case I am (hopefully) bringing back to life. I've mounted it on a Harbor Freight automotive engine stand using some custom brackets I hacked out of some left over job I likely never finished around the house. When I rotated the engine to clean the underside ... whatever you want to call it these two little pieces fell to the ground. I suspect they'd dropped at some point on to the engine's horizontal surface and fell out when I tipped engine.

The little pin looks familiar and the spring ... well its a spring - don't recognize it. It's not a carb air/fuel screw spring. That much I know.

And BTW the points are not redeemable for anything special ... matter of fact - nothing, just bragging rights.
 
Either the detent plunger for the neutral stop that clicks into the shift drum..or the neutral pin that touches the switch and makes the dash light come on.

I believe you win ... 09209 - 05011 ... appears to be the contact switch/pin and spring for the gear selector signal mechanism (my terminology). I took the gizmo off and must have left the pin/spring behind and it fell out.

Thanks! IOU 10 points.
Mm
 
Yes. Without it youtr gear indicator/neutral won't work
