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.

Huh ??:confused:
So, you took the ignition out, had a new key made then had someone else rewire the ignition back in ? Or did someone rewire the bike before any of this happened ?
In either case, get a multimeter, go through the Stator Papers, as recommended, to diagnose your charging problems. It's the easiest and best way to figure it out. New key or not.....

I would also recommend using proper punctuation, it really helps when reading the typed word.:)
 
key switch removal not related to charging system

UNLESS you have some bare wires shorting out

I'd like to offer if the bike was re-wired and there is a way for water to get into the new harness that is a possible cause for the problems.

I'm dealing with a z-1 at the moment zapped stator from water inside the main harness sheath.
 
The main power goes thru the key switch so i would imagine it is possible that you had a good connection before and now have a poor connection via the key switch after removing it. Did you make yourself a little drawing before removing the switch to make sure you reconnected the wires in the right way ?
