    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.

The blade on the engine that the tach cable inserts into on my project bike is broken. I am assuming that I'm going ng to have to go with an electric tach because not this. Any one have any suggestions and know what all is needed ? Any possible easy fix for the mechanical tach ?
Thank you

Thanks for the helping hand. What did I do wrong? Any advice ?
 
Thanks again Cowboyup ! Now that the pic is up, anyone have any ideas ?
 
Have you tried pulling that piece out with needle nose pliers should come out ,Brian
 
Okay, now that I went back and read it better, you can replace that piece as the parts are still available. I'd look at the parts fiche for you but I have no clue what bike you are talking about.

How about putting that information in your signature block.
 
So looking at the parts fiche for your bike on Boulevard Suzuki, the tach drive is in the Cylinder Head, part number 25.

It's weird but the picture won't show up on the main site even though it did while editing it.



They sell it for $24.10

I had to do a similar job on my 850. You'll have to remove that whole sleeve. Most people say this is supposed to be easy, but mine was a real bear to get out. Hopefully you will have better luck. There are two seals you'll want to replace while you have it out.

Here's a guide: http://bwringer.com/gs/tachcableseals.html
 
Terrific link ! You guys are great. Will place an order for the seals today.
QUESTION - in purchasing a new tach and spedo, what ratio are they for my year/model bike (79 GS850) ?
