    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.

1980 gs550e power to ignition switch but no lights on instruments or lights.

Bike was working fine. I replaced stock rear indicator lights. Had a brief no power to light issue but it went away. I moved run and horn switch closer to grips. Now when I turn key I get no power to start relay when pressing start button, no instrument lights or any lights. Bike will start by jumping start relay. Checked run button and it is good.

Can anyone give me a hint as to where to start? What may cause this? I am pretty sure it isn't the start switch but am replacing that tomorrow.

I'd Check fuses and fuse connections first. No doubt power is going some places but not to others, seems one fuse may be problem. Make a little jump wire to touch the spring clip on both sides of each fuse, with key on jump the fuse between the spring clips on each end of each fuse, watching for the inst. lights to come on. Have seen a few fuses that looked good but weren't.
