Interchangable speedo drives

[Jaceves0802]

Hello,

First time on here, and was wondering if i could get some help. I have a 1981 Suzuki GS550L. The speedo drive just went bad and im having some trouble finding one for that year. So, i was wondering if anyone knew which other years and model bikes have parts that can be interchangeable with my bike.

Thanks

I am sorry that the pagination gets messed up but the 32 models that your bike shares its speedo box with - The pieces that picks up the rotation of the front wheel.

[Jaceves0802]

So any of those bike use the same speedo drive? And what are the numbers after the year?

[Jaceves0802]

Nevermind about the number. Just realized what they are.

[JEEPRUSTY]

I deskewed it a bit
Odd numbers are actual cc's of the bike's engine.

numbers don't always tell the story.
post a picture or 3 of your speedo drive and i will tell you what i know.
i believe i have a large box of common speedo drives.
the odd balls are the bikes with 16" front wheels.

[Jaceves0802]

As soon as i can i will post it. I have a picture of the bike, would that help?

nope,
if you pull the speedo off take a picture of inside and outside.
i believe its the really common one like rusty jeep showed.

Looks like it just needs a good cleaning. My bike uses that same one, it is a very common on alot of GS bikes. They are fairly easy to take apart and clean and regrease.

internal or external threads where the cable attaches?

[Jaceves0802]

The threads are on the inside of the speedo drive.

[Jaceves0802]

Also, when I took the drive off and spun the part that attaches to the wheel, nothing happened at the end where the speedometer cable goes
