    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...

    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 1983 GS850 with the dual round spedo/tach instrument cluster. On the speedometer one of two little screws on the face of the gauge has come loose and is rattling inside between the gauge face and the glass. I have the gauge disassembled to the point of having a white inner assembly with the lens and bezel still attached. But I can not figure out how to separate the lens from the gauge itself if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You, Brett

Hi Mr. Brett Jull,

Here are a couple of pictures from Mr. Nessism. You can carefully pry the bezel with a flat blade screwdriver. Or, once you have it started, use a good pair of needle nose pliers to pry around the bezel. Then use a drift punch to bend it back during reassembly.

The front should be no worse for wear when you're done.
