    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.

My tach has stopped working on my 83 GS1100L and I have taken the cable off twice and put it back together only to have it run for a few minutes and then quit again. What am I doing wrong? Everything worked fine until I pulled the head. Did I screw something up putting this thing back together? Is this a common problem?

Either your cable is broken, or you need to lubricate the bearings in your tach. They like to dry out after all these years.
 
Check the ends of the cable (especially where it meshes with the drive gear) -
My 850 had a similar problem and the end that fits into the slot was ground down..
Someone (
:redface:) had tightened the cable in without being sure it was meshed well nor properly.
A NEW cable and some careful application solved the issue...
 
Just went down to the shop and pulled it off. Its broken. How did I miss this? Three times no less. Well, anyway, easy fix.
