    1981 GS850l oil lens

    Anyone know where I can find a replacement oil inspection lens? Oil sight gauge what ever you want to call it

    Is it broken and dumping oil everywhere?

    If you want to replace it because you can't see through it, why not just clean it? Yes, you have to remove the cover to clean the inside, but it's possible.

      Whats it measure? Mine was still available from Suzuki. Surely there is another model that will fit it.

        Here you go,

        1978 Gs1085 compliments of Popy Yosh, Bandit 1200 wheels and front end, VM33 Smoothbores, Yosh exhaust, braced frame, ported polished head :cool:
        1983 Gs1100ESD, rebuild finished! Body paintwork happening winter 2017:D

        I would rather trust my bike to a technician that reads the service manual than some backyardigan that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix things.

          you can also use a kawasaki sight glass. cheaper than suzuki and it doesn't have the metal "spider" in behind the glass so its easier to read and easier to clean if needed

          Just remember, an opinion without 3.14 is just an onion!
