    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.

Tach Cable

I have a 1980 GS450E I try removing the Tach Cable from the engine but no success, I can only get to loosen up a little bit the cable from the engine, but it gets hard again. I try both ways right and left but nothing happens. Thanks in advance to anyone with info.

Ps: What else can be said about JT Motorsports. Very unreliable people, I order a float for my carb, took 3 weeks to arrive and when I finaly got it, it was crushed on one side, mail it back to them over a week ago. Still waiting for them to deliver. I will never buy again from them.
 
The tach cable gear housing is held in by a plate that has a single screw holding it tight to the cam cover. Make sure that screw is tight, or the gear housing might just spin with the cable collar.
 
I unscrewed the housing from the head & took the whole thing off .Then it was MUCH easier taking the tach cable off :D
I also learned that from people here 8) 8)

Would this make the tach jumpy?

I have replaced the O-ring where the tach. cable comes into teh cam cover and it STILL LEAKS!!! What is the procedure or tourque setings for the bolt? My tach reads OK and DOES NOT FLOAT but is rapidly jumps up and down 200 rpm while running anything over 2,000 rpm??? :evil:
 
I've got the same problem shortlid. At rpms above 3000 the tack pointer is burying itself in the far reaches of the other side of the tach.
:(
