    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.

Removing cover on the shifter/clutch adjustment side

I can't remove cover that the shifter arm comes put (don't know what it's called). I've removed all screws, clutch adjustment mechanism, hit it with a deadbolt and it won't budge. Don't see anything in manual, any suggestions would be appreciated.

If you are removing the cover have you taken off the shifter? Sounds dumb but I'm spitballing here. Shifter clamp bolt, and c-clip depending what you have.
 
Thank you. I didn't see 2nd screw underived clutch adjustment panel. Now it's loose but stuck on shift shaft, not sure if it's a bad oil seal holding it up or worse. Any recommendations?
Thank you again
Paulo
 
There is no oil seal or bushing between shifter shaft and cover? It's just steel on aluminum? Manual show's an oil seal, but this is my 1st bike of this type so maybe not.
 
The seal is on the block further in; it does slide over the shifter shaft, but lives further in. On some GSs you have to remove the foot peg bracket or whatever's at the back of the cover in the way to get the cover off.
 
Probably cr@p on the shaft. Keep wiggling the panel, maybe spray a lubricant in there, it'll slide off.
