    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.

As i posted before my bike will no go at WOT,its hesitates over 120 km/h,
I have the carbs totally dismantled,cleaned changed every o-ring in carbs and boots.Changed mains from 120 up to 140.Coils have 12.6 volt when ignition is on,I wonder if the problem can be in the igniter unit? Bike starts very easy and runs well to about 120 when it starts to hesitate and slowly raises in speed.
 
Maybe. You could have a fuel restriction also. Too sharp a bend in the fuel line, wrong type of fuel filter, dirty filter on petcock in tank, etc... Just something to check. I had this experience, where it can flow enough gas at moderate speed, but can't flow enough for wide open.
 
I recommend doing plug chops at the region of the problem. Most likely the problem is related to the carbs, not the ignition.
 
I've seen bad igniters do exactly what yours is doing. Got a spare to check it?
The 120 main is probably alot closer than the 140.
 
I saw on the net a company in New Zealand selling something called HYPERPAK, a igniter box so you just change the old one.Had someone any knowledge of this box?
 
My igniter passed the tests listed in the shop manual, but I still believed them to be the issue. When I purchased an igniter from Hyperpak, that brought my GS1150 back to life.
