    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.

Magneto Cover pins

After replacing the RR and stator (Electro-Sport)on an 82 GS650G I've got an oil leak from the cover. Bottom line question is how many pins are there? There's one pin at the location of the bolt at the 9 o'clock position. At 6 o'clock there's an opening on the engine side that looks like there could be a second one. There's a smaller hole in the gasket and cover at that position, adjacent to the actual bolt. Online parts diagram doesn't appear to show one here.

I initially suspected my home-made gasket, now it's happening with a new one from the dealer. I used a good amount of gasket sealer (before reading through posts saying it's not needed). After test ride I was able to tighten some of the bolts but I'm afraid to go any further.

Thanks for any advice. I've really gotten alot of good information from this site which convinced me also to rebuild the carbs over the winter.

Rod in Wethersfield CT.
 
There are supposed to be two dowel pins. If you look on the fiche for the crankcase cover, you'll see them.


Also, you may want to post future technical questions in the appropriate subforum, such as "4 Cylinder Engine/Drivetrain/Clutch". Scroll down a bit more after you log in.
 
Thanks for the response bwinger. I looked at the parts diagram again and the only other pin I see looks to be for the transmission cover. But it turns out I used the middle sized bolt where a short one was needed. Once I corrected this problem the oil drip stopped.
