    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

My baby has an issue voltage drops anywhere below 5000 rpm not a good way to ride. Has anyone seen this problem before ?
Cheers labtec
 
haha...seen it before? That's a good one.

First time here I take it? Welcome to the GSR. Pop over to the GS Owners subforum, introduce yourself and your bike. You'll get a welcome package from BassCliff.

As for your charging issues, you are experiencing the #1 problem with these bikes (notwithstanding chronic cheapness of POs). It could be a battery problem, R/R, stator, or some combination of the above. Bad grounds/burnt connectors are also a common issue.

The search function is a bit dysfunctional. Limit your searching to advanced search, titles only, and look for Quick Test and/or member Posplayr. He has a bunch of links in his signature, including the Quick Test.
