    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.

Hi all,not sure where to post this,so opted for general. Whilst driving a while ago my speedo started bouncing up and down,then the needle started spinning round really fast,eventually shattered into lots of little pieces! Have removed speedo cable,is it possible to take the instrument panel apart,and get a replacement needle,or will I have to try track down a whole new display?! Any advice appreciated,cheers ��

Hmmm, sounds like the speedo drive locked up inside the housing causing it to do what it did. It is easy to take apart the speedo on your bike. Pull the speedo out and see if it locked up with the magnetic drive or something got in-between the two drive pieces causing it to lock up. Most likely you'll have to find a instrument cluster to get what you want. Maybe a GSR member has a spare needle or two for ya.
 
Thankyou both,will try get that one on ebay,easiest option! Cheers ��
