    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.

Hey all,
As I have been posting lately about doing all the fine tutorials on BikeCliffs, site, I have run into a new problem since I rebuilt the tach seals. The tach worked fine before this, so after replacing seals and lubing cable with M/C cable lube, I now have a very slow responding tach, rises slowly and falls slowly, no kinks in cable, and when removing from tach while running, it seems to be spinning at speed. The gear seemed to go in OK, would having the lower nut over tightened cause this, or any other ideas, and are you suppose to lube the tach at all. Thanks...Jay
 
Hi,

Yes, take your gauges off, turn them upside down and squirt a few drops of your favorite lubricant; contact cleaner/lube, 3-n-1 oil, WD-40, silicone lube, etc, into the cable ports. Seems I have to do this periodically.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Thanks Bassclif,
I saw that previously posted and will give it a shot, why is it thou when you fix one thing, that three other things go wrong, it worked fine, and then after rebuild of lower unit, the tach quits working, go figure.
 
You may have too much grease on the cable, give it a quick wipe with a rag
