    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.

My recently purchased 82 gs850 has a screw in both the speedo and tach that have rattled loose, one of the ones that hold the dial face in place.

Is there any way to get inside? I thought about trying to remove the bezel that holds the glass down. When I unbolted the back cover I saw the closed end rivit, can I drill that out and disassemble it from behind?

Any help would be great.
 
Funny you should ask. I looked at my speedo after work today and noticed one screw bouncing around in there.
Same question applies.
I know you need to pry the metal ring of the glass off the main body. Is there a less intrusive method like using a dremmel and glueing it back together?
Anyone have a 140 speedo with the after 80 signal self cancel? :D
 
Prying off the ring IS less intrusive than cutting the body apart. Pretty easy job.
 
So after taking everything apart, I figured removing the bezel was the way to go. With a small screw driver I gently pried off the bezel. I bit tricky trying not to damage it, but it's all back together and working. Now for the Tach.
