    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 1985 GS 700 E. The Tach doesn't work at all I don't no were to go from here. Ive checked the wires. I have 13 volts at the hot wire. the ground is in good shape. and there are no breaks in the pulse wire. I don't know if the tach is actually broken or what. The needle moves freely. Thanks for your help.
 
You need to gain access to the circuit board behind the tach, there are various electronic components on the board. Probably one has burned out. :confused:Or maybe more than one has burned out. All can be replaced with new components, except for the black long one in the middle.
 
How do I get the trip odometer knob off, the needles (speedo and tach)? I tried to get the Trip Knob off and I Broke the face plate glass.
 
You don't need to take the trip knob off, I made the same mistake the first time I went in there. You only need to remove the speedo drive and a couple of screws and the white back comes off, then you can dismantle the back of the tach.
 
There was a NOS cluster on eBay a few weeks ago (insides only) - $169. The tach on our 700 works but only below 7k rpm or so.
