    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.

Grease fitting needs special nozzle?

I want to grease the clutch mechanism under the cover on my '79GS550. There is a fitting there that is small with straight sides, not your typical zerk fittings. I've seen these same type on old Hondas. Has anyone a source for an adapter or nozzle I can get for my grease gun to fit this style fitting? :confused:
 
I used a regular grease gun to shoot grease into the fitting and it worked fine on my two 550's.

Hmmm.. That's interesting. My gun doesn't seem to make a good seal as grease comes out around the sides and doesn't seem to be getting through the fitting. You got me curious though. I'm going to get a different grease gun and see if it makes any difference.

I have one of these, inexpensive, and you should be able to find them at your local NAPA..

part #715-1200 or you can get one that just sticks onto your grease gun fitting..
 
Make a gasket of some sort to seal the grease gun tip and squirt away.
