    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Anybody know what causes the battery light to illuminate for? My battery is new.

If you did not put the battery fluid level sensor on the battery, the light will stay on. Most batteries do not have the sensor any more. I removed the idiot light because I didn't want to spend over $100 for a battery that had the sensor.

If you want to keep your bike original & everything working properly, you can get the batteries with the sensor from JC Whitney & other suppliers for appx. $50, shipped without acid. Acid available from auto parts stores for appx. $3.

I didn't know that! Good info!

awesome thanks a lot. check out my other thread under the search keyword diode test regulator and look for my user name. I've got some really interesting things going on there.
 
Won't help the original poster, but I was able to pull the sensor out of my old battery and, after cutting it down, put it in the new regular battery, and maintain the sensor light function.
