    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1100ED Battery light

I am wrapping up cleaning all the connections on the harness, replacing the RR with a SH775, and repairing corrosion damage around the battery area. Made a few mistakes (the starter solenoid needs a ground wire!), but overall went well. Charging OK but the battery light is on. I understand the light has nothing to do with charging, and is usually discarded when the battery is replaced. I BELIEVE I have traced the sensor wire to an orange\blue stripe wire that was unhooked. I connected it to ground, I'm thinking it should probably go to switched +12V. Can someone confirm? Of course I put it ALL back together before noticing, so the tank\seat\airbox\seat bracket need to come out before I can even SEE the battery. I will post pictures later on where the F$#k do you fit a SH775 on a GS1100e. It's not pretty, and involves a saw and a cutoff wheel..... Or Pods.
 
You usually pull the sensor wire to switched +12V (e.g. O/G) to disable the idiot light and not draw current when sitting off.
