Attached "I think" is the picture of the broken Tach mount.

You can just post the full sized picture in your message...



Yep, all the necessary parts are still available from Suzuki. Order a new valve cover gasket too (I suggest Real Gaskets). Then have a gander at Mr. bwringer's "how-to" and fix it.....

Replace Tach Cable Seals

Actually, you don't have to take off the valve cover to fix the tach cable gear. But you might as well spec the valve clearances while you're in the neighborhood. Your 850 will love it.

You can also post more than one picture per message thusly...



You bike looks good. I'm sure you'll get it looking even better.



Thank you for your ingulgence,

Hey bigtuck21. Great site with a buncha decent old farts who know these bikes like tha back of their hand.
The bikes are pretty fun to fark around with also.

There should be enough left on that tach drive adapter to get a hold of and wiggle it out.
if not, dremmel a slot in the side of the aluminum piece and pry on it with a screw driver while you wiggle.

a little patience, some careful thinking and she'll come out.

Another bike

I'm gonna end up keeping this bike, I can feel it. So there is a part missing right? A part that fits over what is still there that is meant to hold it in?

my 81 850 is going to end up getting scrapped because i have nowhere to put it. let me know if you need any parts for the tach drive

Yep -- #20 on this diagram. About $15 at PartShark, although if you post in Parts Wanted or reply to the guy above you'll probably score one cheaper.

You'll also need #23, the retaining plate, and probably replace the screw, #24. Not to mention the seals mentioned in the link to my site above: http://bwringer.com/gs/tachcableseals.html

Looks like you can see in the thread which part/s I need. What would you want for that assembly out of yours? How did that accident go down if I might ask? You come out ok?

New problems

So you guys were spot on. That tach cable mount pulled right out. All I need is the new parts and I am in business there. I have it running pretty good though it seems like I am getting too much air through the airbox. The more I restrict the airflow the better it runs. I took it down the street knowing the front brakes were hanging up a bit, but it must have been more than I thought. Now the clutch won't engage. Looks like I burnt her up though it must have been on the edge anyway.
