    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.

I have an odd electrical prob... intermitently the lights on the dash all flash oh 2 3 maybe 4 times and go out (all but the neutral and the bright) this happens in any gear throttle position brakes on or off stand up or down anybody seen this one B-4?
 
Sounds like a loose connection somewhere. I would first check inside the headlight shell.
One request, please use black rather than red. Thank you.

When you mean flash what do you mean? They come on all at once in a series? Which GS1100 model?

Used to get the 'idiot lights' illuminated when the reg/rectifier was shot and the bike wasn't charging. I'd check that you either don't have an earthing problem or that there's not a broken or breaking wire to the lights.

Yes they all flash on at the same time 1X 2X Happens under all conditions I'll go looking for a loose or broken wire or bad connection thanks guys
 
Whn you say every thing else, I gather you mean the instrument lights back ground lights.

I would say the probelm is an intermittent loose connection in the instrument light circuit. The grey power wire from the ignition switch that goes to the gas guage, the tach and the speedo. Is also same circuit (but different connector as the front running lights, you loose those too?

Reason I suspect the power wire, rather than the ground wire, is that the netural light and the instrument lights use the same ground wire essentailly. So follow the connections of the gray wire in your headlight shell. Maybe take connectors apart, and look for a pin pushed back, or a loose wire cooreded and about to fall off of connector.
