    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.

Shifter shaft sleeve/guide

When I pulled my old cover off of my GS650G for restoration, I noticed there was a guide pressed in in the hole where the shifter shaft goes through, I figured I needed to replace it and removed it, I went to partshark and ordered one with the p/n:04211-09129. On the digram it looked like that's what I needed. When it arrived it appeared to be a dowel pin. Obviously I discarded the old guide, and now I am wondering why is it not available for order, and maybe it is not meant to be replaced which is really odd. Anyone ever replaced it?
Couple of images of the cover without the guide:

Suzuki doesn't typically sell parts like that since it's not intended to be a service part. Your best bet is to either make a new bushing on a lathe or buy a new/used cover.

If you make one up. any of the machinable plastics will work. Make it a loose fit too. Alignment once the cover is on isn't exact.
It doesn't carry any load to speak of, it's just an outrigger stabilising the shaft end.
