I have replaced teh o-ring in the drive for the tach on my '80 GS850G with 34k but it only slowed the leak! How do I tighten it properly and get it to stop!!

Did you take out the whole tach gear housing, and replace "all" the oil seals, or just the one in the front?
On my bike, the shaft on the driven gear was worn where the seal lip rides, so I had to replace that. It was only $10 or $11, I think. Or was it $23? Anyway, it was well worth it.
Here are pictures, instructions, and all the gory details:

Me too, I replaced the seal, o-ring, and gear. I couldn't stand the smell of my oil dripping onto the exhaust in traffic.

Just the outer one. How hard it is to get to the inner seals? Can I misalign the gear? Can anyone take me through the steps? I don't think my Cylmers has anything on it? :evil:

Go further up to earlier post....Bwringer put up an excellent link with pictures to show you how to replace "all" seals. Not to worry, it's a very simple job, hard to mess up.
