    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.

1979 gs750L question

That seat is long gone. This bike is a cafe now. But why do the fuses blowout with an L seat?
 
Yes, fuses can trick you with their looks, so just replace and carry spares. Raid your parents/grandparents tool boxes for old fashioned made-in- USA fuses.

Tom is just blowing you smoke. He is an avid L hater and plainly states it wherever possible. Replace all the fuses with quality fuses and retest.

Can't tell ya what the PO did with this bike. looks like it was in an accident or something. L forks and seat, but E stamped on the frame. Gonna look at the engine when I get home to see what that says. lol. So bike cliffs has a 79 gs850 diagram that looks right on. I just gotta get the time to get back at it tomorrow.

my L has an E stamped frame which makes sense as L is a "limited edition" version of the standard machine
 
Ugh! New fuses didn't work! The PO had two 10A fuses and two 30A fuses. Haynes says all 10A except for one 15A. Could that have affected any of the bikes electrical components?
 
LOL. I can see why you might have been confused.
Your fuse box performs an electrical function of safeguarding parts of your electrical components, via the wiring harness. If you wish to see what components are hooked up via the wiring harness, you have to perform the laborious task of tracing the wires.
"IF" your fuse box is the same as my 83 GS1100E (possible, even likely, but IDK for certain) the top fuse is the main fuse. It should be 15A. The bottom fuse is Accessories, and it should be 10A.
If you have, or can find, a wiring diagram for your particular model, you can more easily trace what is connected to these fuses via the wiring harness.
