Tachometer output shaft 'O' ring
I have a 1981 gs850gl that has developed a leak in the tachometer shaft. Is there a source where I can get the o ring without buying the whole gasket? How hard are they to install?Tags: None

Yes, there are two seals. If this link works they are #27 &28. They might vary by application, so Id check to be sure.

removal and instal
I looked at the picture and it looks really easy. Any hidden problems? Just take the screw out, remove the items, replace the o rings and re-install. Any special tools needed? Will oil run out of it what I do this? Help appreciated.

Nope. It really is that easy. Youll get a little oil when you pull the drive gear but its nothing you cant wipe up with a rag.

It's a 5mm thread X .80mm pitch.
I don't know the length, but it's probably 10mm or 12mm.1983 GS850G, Cosmos Blue.
