    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...

    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.

Alright I narrowed it down to a wiring issue with the new starter switch and kill switch. Here are a few photos that hopefully can help. Now it take me a little bit to understand electrical stuff but I'm trying to learn so play nice :-k. I've tried a bunch of different ways to wire it and can't get it to work properly.

From left to right on the original wiring: Orange/White, Orange/White, Yellow/Green

Here is a picture of the rocker switch and starter switch

When I touch the green wire to the bullet connector the bike acts like you have the kill switch on and are trying to start it. That's the only time I get anything from the bike. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alright, I figured out that my starter switch was faulty so I got a new one and that is wired correctly now. I just dipped my carbs and replaced the o-rings. I installed the new SH775 RR. Does anyone have a link to a step by step thread on this install so I can double check my work? Idle is set correctly.

So the outcome is the same. I can hold the starter switch and it will run fine... as soon as I let go of the switch the bike dies. Any input would be great. I'm going to go over the charging system again tomorrow to see if I missed anything the first time. Bad stator maybe?
 
Check to see if you have the recommended spark plugs, I just had the same problem and I found after changing from the D9EAs to the D8EAs the problem stopped

Somehow, that just does not compute.

Changing heat range on a spark plug will not kill the bike in five seconds.

Thanks everyone, I got it running now! It happened to be the wiring after all. I went back and traced my steps again and wired up the original controls. Since that fixed my problem I just had to look at the new starter and kill switch. You guys are always a great help when I'm stuck on some electrical problem.
