    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

Hi all, gotta question on tach cable, the end that connects to the engine has come apart. It appears that this cable end is fit over the wire and is compressed onto it. In my case, I believe it has simply worked loose. Does anyone know if I crimp this end back onto wire will it work? If not a crimp, would epoxy hold? Not a major problem, I already pulled one from the parts bike but would like to try before trashcanning it.

It figures this cable would go, I had to replace clutch cable two weeks ago and have replaced speedometer and throttle as well in spring. Just seems like it is always something. :-k
 
Mine did that, and I just crimped it back with a pair of butt-connector crimpers. Has held for 2 years + so far.

Lubrication works well.

My tach quit yesterday evening and the problem turned out to be the same thing. I crimped the end piece back on to the cable with some vice-grips and it held very well. Simple and easy fix; the tach worked normally for the 50 or so miles I put on it this morning.
