    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.

I bought a 1980 GS 450 L and it is leaking oil out of the gear shift shaft, how do you change the seal...do you have to take the cover off. Please post pics if possible.

I quess the 450 riders missed this. It looks to me that the cover has to come off, BUT my bike is different. Have you looked at the parts diagrams at www.alpha-sports.com ? Someone will step up soon!
 
I can't directly answer your question, but I would take a look here in the Service Manual

For parts I would check the dealership or bikebandit .com
 
seal is like 10$, take the cover off, remove old seal with a screwdriver or something and press the new one in. You might have to use a piece of pvc or something of the like cause of the length of the shaft.
