    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.

On the left of the frount tire there is a drive gear that turns the speedo cable. Is that connection supposed to be a small 4 sided post or is it a spade conection?

Speedometer cable

I have an 1982 GS 1100GK, and in the prosess of trying to fix the speedometer I found that it needed a cable, so I ordered one. When it arived, it had the square insert insted of the spade type. Not knowing what was suposed to be there I asked. I think I've got the wrong cable.

Square end fits into the speedometer. Do you have the ends reversed?

No I don't have it backwards. It has the square end on both ends. I was thinking that someone changed the frount tire rim and all, but what Bassclift said, I think I've got the wrong cable.:oops:
