    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.

There is a cap on the front of the engine block on my 1982 Suzuki GS300L.
The cap is on the valve cover on top towards the front.
Is this a port for a mechanical Tachometer?

Picture would help, but maybe. On the bigger bikes, the port for the tach gear is on the head itself.
 
It may very well be. The GS300L as configured for North America didn't come with a tachometer, but that engine was used in many different bikes in both 250 and 300cc sizes for the overseas market.

Many of those bikes were sportbikes, so I'm sure they came with tachs on them.

As was posted before, a pic is worth a thousand words.

Thanks man, i think its number 11 on the parts list. so i guess i better look for a tach for my bike then.
 
I looked at the schematics for the cylinder head cover for my bike and there is a port for a tachometer.
Thanks for the reply.
 
You should pull the cover off and check. Their is probably No drive gear and may ??? not have teeth on the cam
