    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.

The reason why odometer stopped

Whoa! I'm curious as to how many miles you have on the odometer.
 
Only 68000KM or about 42250 miles. Not much, I?ll guess it was starving for some lubricants 😜
 
wow. Maybe no lube from the factory in that one...

The odometer/speedo is the same on my 82 1100E. The speedo works fine but the odometer is frozen at a bit over 29,000km. It was that way at least 2 owners prior to me and I bought it in 2004. I fixed the problem on mine by installing a Trailtech Vapor computer. It works so well I am planning on removing the OEM gauge cluster and adding a small fly screen to fill the space from the OEM gauges.

I think it was lubricated when it left the factory in 82, but the time and temperature has evaporated it. It just shows that its not enough to lube in the speedowire connection, you must actually open the speedo house.
 
Indeed! but that's ^^the worst I've seen! and I've taken several apart . usually there are traces of lubricant grease....and true-I've never seen any oil that I put at the cable end actually get inside the gauge. It could be bad if it did, drying on the spring or messing up the gauge face...

But I hate to take these apart . I would not tell anyone to take these apart BEFORE a problem occurred but maybe we should, because they are getting hard to find as originals
