    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Speedo Needle Jumping

Hello All,

First Post for me. I have an '82 GS850, which is just about perfect, except for one thing.

At around 55 MPH and again at 65 MPH, the speedo needle starts jumping back and forth.

Any suggestions on how to fix this issue?

More annoying that anything.

Thanks.:)
 
Welcome to the fourm. You might try lubing the cable and/or speedo mechanism.
 
Yep. I had that. I undid the cable from the speedo and sprayed in some lube, then did the cable. Problem fixed. Later I had to do the same to the tach.
 
Welcome to the GSR. Good advice offered already, I had to Replace the Speedo Cable on my 850 Last Year and they do need to be Lubed once in a While. Where are You in Tennessee?
 
Sounds easy enough
