Water in the gearbox

[Garry H]

I am fedup with having to change the gearbox oil after some fording...So am going to use a digi speedo and i have made this to plug the hole...And a pipe up under the seat should do the trick

i take it you will be changing the earth bolt as well. can you make more of these bungs for a reasonable cost?

the breather on the bevel box does that let water in aswell or does the valve ontop work?
sorry for these questions but i have a problem with taking motorbikes wading i see a puddle or bit of water and have to see how it goes not found anything interesting on the gs yet but it would be handy to know the limit for my airhead so i dont embarress myself (yes i am thinking about building a wading kit dont realy know whats around) thinking of proofing it up to the fuel filler level has any one else done this? or am i being silly. cheers Bm

Another masterpiece and the earth bolt ( well a solid shaft bolt ) stays in place

You really should be selling these to order..be about £25 from Touratech !!

Nice bit of kit.

I bought the TT bit after giving up on speedo a few years back - the TT bit is a joke, if I'd have realised I'd have made one some how, a cork would be as good (plastic not original of course)

Interestingly I've never had water in gerabox though even with old cable in....not that that helps gearbox longitivity

£9.25 actually but uses the original vented bolt and doesn't have the vent that Garys has. No comparison Mr H gets my vote

Original bolt replaced with a modified 6mm stainless bolt....I will be looking at the bevelbox breather next
If there's some interest i could make some
