    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.

'80 550E only indicator lights work

Just bought a 1980 550e. Bike ran fine and all electricals worked. I put on a new throttle cable and new battery, and now no electricals other than the oil, neutral, and gear indicator lights will work. In addition, while checking wiring connections, got a beeping sound that I was able to replicate once - not the horn. Battery is fine, fuses are good, and kill switch looks fine. What should I check or replace?

Since you changed the battery, make sure you got all the ground connections back in place.

Also check your fuses. One fuse (the one closest to the end of the box) is for LIGHTS, the next one is for SIGNALS, which includes turn signals, horn, warning lights and brakes, the third fuse is IGNITION. The fourth fuse is the MAIN fuse.

It's possible that the first and third fuses are bad. You can't just go by looks, you have to verify electrically that the fuse is intact. Use a voltmeter or a test light to verify.
