    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.

Not sure where to post this, hope im in the right spot. Does anybody know where I can get a tach drive eliminator/plug for my 83 850GLD?
 
The 2004-2006 GS500 moved to an electronic tach and had a plug here instead of the tach fitting. Earlier models had a cable, later models just left the hole in the casting undrilled.

Look on the cylinder head fiche for the 2004-2006 GS500 -- there are many places to order Suzuki parts. Partshark.com is a good one.


The relevant parts are:

The plug:
16 TACHOMETER HOLE
26442-45000
Only $10 - $12 depending on where you get Suzuki parts.


We know the plug is the same diameter because the seal band is the same part number as most 70s-80s GS models. You will want to replace this as well.
18 SEAL BAND
26451-45000

You may also need a new lock plate and screw if these parts are damaged or missing from your bike.
