    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Hello out there I am brand new 1981 gs750e owner.I just took my new bike out for a run wow what a sweet driving bike and powerful. The former owner just installed a new speedo cable last month,he said it has been working fine.Now it does not work it looks new I checked it at the wheel and at the back of the speedo they are both snug. Anybody out there have any tips for me as where to check next? thanks much for any help. Brian
 
Welcome to the site. Did you remove the speedo drive from the wheel, clean, and re-grease it? Are you positive the cable is still good (take a drill and slowly turn it)?

And you can check the speedo by spinning the cable counterclockwise while connected at the top end...
