    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.

Hey all just need a bit of advice.
i was out riding last sunday when my gs went down on to
2 cylinders then the other 2 cut out
the bike had overcharged and blown out the coils i think because
there was alot off black gungy stuff around small cracks in the coils and there was no spark. i have replaced and regapped the points and condensors,changed the regulator rectifier and put s/h coils on it but i still have no spark ive checked the kill switch and thats all ok
im a bit confused so any help would be much appreciated
 
Check the spark plugs are good. Try new ones. Check spark from end of HT lead to cylinder head. Check connections to coil. Remove points cover. Turn ignition on and separate the points with screwdriver tip. There should be a small spark at the points. Check these and get back to us.
