    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Part number please!

Hello All,

I jumped on my newly acquired '79 GS850GN this morning for a short ride and noticed my speedo needle was not moving.
I'm going to start with replacing the cable so my question to forum members is, can anyone tell me the Suzuki part no. For the speedo cable. I would like to stick to genuine Suzuki parts if possible.
I see there is currently a cable for sale on eBay over here in the UK. It's listed as being for an 850G but doesn't state what year. I don't know if there was a change in parts over the years.

Thanks for reading!

No change in speedo cables for any of the 850G years that I know of, but you can use any of the online vendors to get a part number.

Not sure what you have on your side of the "pond", but my favorite over here is Parts Outlaw.

Your speedo cable part number is 34910-45114.

EDIT/CORRECTION :oops:

Apparently the '79 850 had a unique (to the 850) cable that was shared with the 450s. Starting in '80, there were no further speedo cable changes.

Is it possible to check the cable off the bike? I am wondering if it makes sense for the OP to just start replacing things, or if there is a way to diagnose the cause, or at least rule out non contributors.
 
If it's this one then according to the part number on the packaging, it's not the right one.

Fowlers are showing one result for 34910-45114 here
 
Pull the inner cable out and connect it up to the speedo and to a cordless or regular drill and see what happens
