    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 found these at Harbor Freight and couldn't pass it up. So I tried them on a couple of female bullet connectors on my gs750. I sprayed some contact cleaner in there then a few seconds with the proper size brush and they are clean. Virtually no corrosion that I can see with a flashlight and magnifying glass. For $2 you'd be hard pressed to beat it.

FYI: Honda uses 3.5 mm and Suzuki and Kawi use 4 mm
 
Only wish they were brass but so far haven't found them. 17 cal bore cleaning brush might work but I haven't tried one. .177 cal = 4.5 mm which might be too tight at first

Been cleaning all of the electrical connections on the 750 using those brushes on the female bullet connectors with QD Electrical contact cleaner. I used Scotch Brite on the male ends. Very pleased with the results. As an experiment I measured the resistance before and after cleaning. Had .5 ohm before and 0.0 ohm after. Those numbers were typical on about 5 tests of different connectors except the right rear turn signal. Light would not light up before. After cleaning, light is bright and blinks normally.
