    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.

Bike bogs down at high rpm's

I wouldn't expect to see a good spark at the plug if the coil is bad. Also, the coils should run 1&4 on one coil and 2&3 on the other. So a bad coil shouldn't have 3&4 out because they run on two seperate coils.

Because you had a really bad flat spot and then it died completely but had spark when it wouldn't start I would have bet money that you had a restriction in fuel delivery. If 3&4 aren't running then pull the float bowls to see if you have fuel there. If no fuel in the float bowls on 3&4 but you do have fuel in 1&2 I think you have found at least part of the problem.

The thing that bothers me is probably the same thing that bothers you and that is the fuses blowing. What I would be interested to learn is which fuses blew and what they supply current to? If they supply current to your turn indicators then it would seem to just be a coincidence.

So now I'm flippin' confused...
After I put new fuses in the bike on friday, it started up, and was running on all cylinders.
I didn't have time to mess with it during the weekend but last night, I found out I would be needing to ride to work this morning. Fired it up and lowandbehold it started up just fine. Threw my helmet on and went for a ride. Went up through the gears and when I got into the 5k-6k range... that's right smooth as could be?????
What gives with this? I made no adjustments whatsoever and it just started running fine.:-k!!

sounds like you are starting into some electrical gremlins. I would suggest in your spare time, start going thru all the connections, and cleaning them up and using dielectric grease on them. The fuse replacement and suddenly better running bike is generally a sign that your connections are getting cruddy. Obviously, you took care of the worst ones, but preventative maintainence is ALWAYS a good thing on these bikes.

What (In your opinion) would have been causing the bike flattening out at the 5k-6k rpm?
 
I agree with TCK. If your problem "suddenly" vanished, it can "suddenly" return. Start with the connections in your headlight and near your battery. You may be shocked at what you find.

Get some good spade connectors and heat shrink tubing and just replace the bullet connectors. You'll be glad you did.

Clean the block connectors unless they're really corroded.
