    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Gear Box Speedo

Had my gear box speedo off and noticed a small bit of rubber falling out of it. It appears there was a rubber gasket in there of some sort that has disintegrated over the years. Is there a replacement part number for this? The fiche only shows the whole component, even though various parts of it are obviously servicable.
 
Yup - reference first post. Anybody ever seen a detailed breakdown?
 
Yours looks like mine. Looks like a shredded gasket underneath the prong ring.
 
I had my speedometer gear mechanism go out on me 90 miles out of Omaha. It just got tight then the tabs bent and that's all it took. Luckily I had a replacement waiting for me in Lincoln. It was no sweat to replace, I just sat back and watched. Thanks again my ol'buddy uncle Larr 👍

This GS1000 wire wheel I'm fitting bent the tab a little bit but I just straightened it out and it seems g2g. 50 miles and it still works. Going to repack it with grease and call it even.
 
I'm sure you could scare up a seal with a few measurements. It's likely pretty much the same across the GS universe.

Next time someone has a front wheel off, do some measuring and report back!
