    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.

Tach removal gs1100

I've been waiting for a new sleeve for the tach, but with the 80 degree weather here it's hard to let my bike just sit! Can it run safely without the tachometer worm drive gear in the cam. I pulled it to replace it, but would just plug the hole and ride if I can.
 
Cool, thought so but wasn't sure. This has been a long wait since I got it two months ago I've worked on things here and there. So far I've changed both tires, front lights, seat lock, cam cover and breather gaskets, valve shims to get within specs, electrical grounds, engine oil and filter, air filter, and spark plugs. The idle raises from time to time and I think the new weather stripping and filter in the air box revealed vacuum leaks at the carbs. That's next!
Thank you all for the info on this site and for helping this carpenter play mechanic.
 
Yeah, should be fine just make sure you have a good seal or oil will get everywhere. (Ask me how I know.)
