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...

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.

So i was riding my 82 gs850gl and noticed the smell of oil and noticed alot of oil leaking ontop of the crank case. I found this sort of vacuum line ontop of my crankcase, i dont know where this line is supposed to connect, anybody know where this line goes?

Thanks
 
Route to the side of the rear wheel, just in case.
 
It is THE vent for your secondary drive unit. Check the oil level in that unit.
The hose is supposed to go into the starter motor housing and exit out the mystery hole under the starter if it is over-filled.
 
The oil is most likely coming from your cam chain tensioner.

Here are the rebuild instructions -- less than $10 in seals and you'll be leak-free.

That little hose is supposed to route under the starter and out the mystery hole under the starter (the mystery hole is just a drain so the starter cavity doesn't fill up with water in the rain). It's just a vent, so no oil should be coming out unless something else is bad wrong.

I wouldn't bother removing the starter to properly route the vent hose, unless you have it out for some other reason. Just route it off to the side.
