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.

    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 have a 82 gs1100gk. i need to replace the cover gasket. i took all the 8 mm bolts out but the cover will not pop off. what do i have to do form here i relize the clutch rod is holding me up just not sure how to remove.
 
The PO (unless your the only owner) may have used some sort of form a gasket or sealer, and it may just need a nudge, rubber mallet, don't pry with a screwdriver, you may crack or damage the cover, after you disconnected the clutch cable ( Im assuming you did) sometimes twisting with your fingers the shaft that runs down through the case helps break it lose, pull on it and tap with mallet, just work with it, theres nothing there to prevent it from coming off.
 
The clutch rod you speak of.. .. If this is the shaft that connects to the clutch cable and goes down into three case, it does not come out. it stays in the cover when you open the case.
Just had my case open to paint and clean the glass. several good traps with a rubber mallet or a protected hammer should do.
 
Like the "other Old Skool" said, there isn't anything else holding it on. The clutch shaft doesn't have to come out. There is just a pinion gear at the end of it that engages the clutch rack shaft. Turning the clutch shaft in the opposite direction from which the clutch cable normally turns it when the clutch lever is pulled may give it enough internal leverage to help you pop the cover off. Otherwise, I would just work a very thin gasket scraper/putty knife around the edge to break the seal and get it to release the cover.
