    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...

hi all newbie here and new to shafties too, ive just aquired and 82 gs1100l needing work on the shaft. ive yet to strip it back, but im looking for a workshop manual for it if anyone has any links?

im also looking for an exploded diagram for the entire set up for the drive just so i dont brake anything. ive been told that the part needing replacing is the engine side before the u-bracket of the shaft.... (the pig of a job area im told)

so any help would be great, thanks

Mick
 
First of all,

Second, there might be some good news. You might not need a shaft.

There is a known issue with the splines in the rear wheel in the '82 models.
Remove the rear wheel, look at the ring that you can see inside, to check the color.
If it is GOLD, it is the weaker splines and is probably the culprit.
You can remove the splines to check the wear, it's hard to see the wear until you do so.

For a manual, check out our library, otherwise known as "BassCliff's site".

Lastly, may I suggest that you put your location in your profile? There might be a member close enough to help.
While you are changing your profile, feel free to also add a signature that shows what bike you have and are working on. That will save you trying to remember to mention it every time you ask a question.

thanks steve,
no its defiantly the shaft. i got the bike from my father in law who has welded a part of it a few years back but its gone again, ive showed him a photo of the shaft i found on ebay but hes not 100% sure wether he welded before or after the u section, he thinks its the awkward side hence handing it over to me who has more time to work on it.

ill sort my profile now too.
 
Can you post some pictures of this damage please when you get the chance?
