    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.

I have a 1981 gs850gl that has developed a leak in the tachometer shaft. Is there a source where I can get the o ring without buying the whole gasket? How hard are they to install?

I looked at the picture and it looks really easy. Any hidden problems? Just take the screw out, remove the items, replace the o rings and re-install. Any special tools needed? Will oil run out of it what I do this? Help appreciated.
 
Nope. It really is that easy. Youll get a little oil when you pull the drive gear but its nothing you cant wipe up with a rag.
 
thanks

thanks

You folks are great. All the info I need with pictures as well. It does look pretty easy. Have a great day!
 
oh no!

oh no!

This was really easy however, when I went to re-install the screw to hold the retaining clip, the screw broke! Does anyone know wha the threads and size of this screw so I can pick one up before I try to extract the old one?

It's a 5mm thread X .80mm pitch.

I don't know the length, but it's probably 10mm or 12mm.
