    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.

Hi everybody. Ive been cruising this site for some time but this is the first time I've posed a question. I have a 79 gs 850 and the odometer does not work and the reset knob has busted off. The tach and speedo are in good working order but the odo stays put. Does the odometer run off the speedometer and this is an internal guage issue or does the odometer have a gear in the front wheel assembly which might be compromised?Thanks for the help and great site!!

Hi Mr. codder,

Drat! Wouldn't you know it? Photobucket is down. But I can attach a picture. You will see that the cable connects to a bell housing assembly that is magnetic and causes a little watch spring to move the speedometer needle. But the odometer and tripmeter are run by gears off of the cable. You will see a larger horizontal shaft driving the other gear assemblies. It could be that one of these is worn or out of place.
