    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.

On a 78 gs550 Can the countershaft oil seal be removed (and replaced) from the sprocket side, or is it removed from the inside of the tranny? Thanks for any advice on this....
 
they can be replaced from the sprocket side, romove clutch actuator and push rod, pop the old seal out, clean up the crankcase "hole" spotless, apply a thin smear of your favourite crankcase sealer around the outer edge of the seal and tap it evenly back in place, making sure it is sitting square. lubricate the pushrod before sliding it back through the oil seal.
 
Thanks, sounds like a good weekend project for me.... on a positive note the bottom of my bike has been well protected from rust....
