    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...

    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.

Final Gear

Is The nut on the end of a gs850 final gear reverse thread. And is it possible for the bike to run and ride ok if this gear is completely cracked in two or is the dealer making excuses because he turned it the wrong way
 
Do you mean the nut on the output flange at the back of the motor?

BTW, a dealer is not more qualified to work on a GS than you are. Unless you have been very lucky to find a qualified mechanic, which it appears you have not.

I don't know for sure if the nut is or isn't left hand threaded, although I doubt it is anything other than a normal right hand thread.

What was the reason for having you're final drive assembly looked at?

A noise, leaking fluid, ect. ?
 
It may be better and cheaper to just swap the whole final drive with a unit off ebay. Mechanic labor is kinda pricey and I know there isnt a left hand threaded nut on the 1100
 
Swapping the whole final drive from ebay is what i ended up with thank you to all! It was leaking from the boot and i thought it was seals. Turned out the Final Gear was completely Sheared off where the nut threaded on which was causing movement and things to leak I was suprised the bike would still move but apparently the gears were still able to mesh. I was checking to make sure the dealer wasnt feeding me a line but i came to the conclusion that it was still possible for it to run. Anyone else have experience with the shaft of this gear shearing off and can anyone tell me why??
