GS1000G Tacho oil leak help

[vodkalex]

Hi all, Just wanted to know how to remove the Tacho housing on the engine on my GS1000g as I have oil leaking down the cable.

 

[Agemax]

straight forward, just unscrew the cable, then remove the small mounting screw that holds it in, then pull it out. you can buy new seals to cure the leak

a few taps with a mallet or a little persuasion with a screw driver may help.

Answering my own question here. I reckon oil is running down the cable from the actual tachometer ? All very strange

No oil should be in the tach itself.....You didn't nick one of the seals when you re-installed them did you ??...and you have it all seated well ??
