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...

Gasket Template

Would anyone have a template for the generator cover gasket for an 82 GS1100 GL with the 8 valve engine? I have ordered a gasket, but it won't be here till next week sometime. All the other parts - AGM Battery, Stator, and AMSOIL Motorcycle oil - arrived this past week. I would like to put the bike together so I can ride it again, so I bought gasket material at Advanced Auto. Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,
Dirk
 
well just take the cover off and put a light coating of grease on the mating surface and press it down on the material.

you can then take a good sharp exacto knife and trace around the outside and then lift off the cover and the light coating of grease will show where to cut out the inside.

I ran into a similar problem with the clutch cover on a yamaha XT350 and just used yamabond (permatex ultra grey) and ened up not putting the gasket in when it arived. had it five years with just the yamabond and it never leaked.
 
OOO I forgot, don't do this on the dining room table!!!! wife will not be remotely happy.

I have a old food prep stainless table that is perfect for tracing.
 
i did exactly as focus frenzy did, but with oil. i would use grease next time. put a light coating all the way around on all the edges and press and hold it on the gasket material. when you take it off, there will be an outline on the metal edges and you just cut around it. i made one for my 850. be careful when using store bought gasket material though. has to be 1/32 inch thick, or else you'll mess with the stator clearances.
