How do I remove the Odometer reset knob?

[Guest]

I'd like to remove the odometer reset knob on my 82 GS450. From what I can tell, it seems like it's a threaded type of knob with reverse threads. I could be wrong, but that's the best I can currently find on the internet.

Regardless of this, does anyone have any experience on how to remove the knob?

Thanks,

You can either just give it a good tug, unthread it, or possibly even unscrew a small screw inside. All ideas have worked on others (two of mine were a pull off) but I'm sure someone will have a better suggestion for you.

There was a thread on this subject awhile ago, Search function may pull it up for you-

It must have been the heat, happen to go by the bike yesterday eve and gave a tug... out it came. Previously I tried pulling on it and nothing happened, plus was fearful of breaking something.

Mine is a short spline type that uses glue to keep it secured.

Thanks all for the advice!
