    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...

    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.

Changing spark plug wires

Is there a way to change spark plug wires on coils that have permanent wires?
 
I thought Keith did a procedure on this a couple years ago but I can't find it. WAS THAT YOU KEITH?
 
I pulled them out on my '83 GS750ES. The plastic fittings broke. I got new wires and carefully inserted them so the center would contact the pin in the bottom of the coil hole. Then took some silicone sealant and sealed them up. They've been in there a year or so and no problems. Make sure the wires and coils and the new boots have the correct spec for ohms.

Spark plug wires

Thanks for the reply. I was a little worried about messing with coils. Costly to replace. I once owned a 82-83 Yamaha 400 Maxim and it would hardly start. The starter button would turn the motor over and over but would hardlly fire untill you let go of the starter button. Once I changed the wires it was like new,you barely had to touch the starter button and would fire right up. This is such a cool place to be!!
