oil leak

[Anonymous]

Got my GS 1100GKE parked for the winter. I have noticed tho that I have a slight oil leak around the sleeve that covers the tach cable that goes into the cylinder head. My first go around with a GS, so is this something major? Or is it just a matter of replacing a seal?

You need 1 @ O ring pn 26451-45000 & oil seal pn 09289-05002

Mine leaks too. Any tips on getting that sleeve out to replace the oil seal? Its a very tight fit.

Loosen the cable nut, remove the bolt & retainer clip. Grab the cable & Wiggle the assembly while GENTLY prying from the retainer grouve

Thanks!

Appreciate all the input and pics for this post Will do this once the damn garage warms up in the spring, otherwise a rag under the head will be the only thing going on with this leak. Thanks again....
