    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.

Charging Too Much?

I have an 83 550L that was not charging. I installed a Ricks Motorsports stator and a R/R from a 1999 GSXR 750. With everything off the battery shows 12.6 volts, and at idle it shows around 14.7, and it does not seem to fluctuate much with the RPMS, it seems to stay at around 14.7. Is doing this dangerous or can ride it like this?
 
14.7V is at the top of the scale (14.25-14.5V average being about optimum). Most R/R are programed to something in this range although due to component tolerances it varies. If it stayed right there at 14.7V and no more it would be OK but a higher charge rate. The danger is it going to 15V or higher.
 
If you don't have an AGM battery then keep an eye on the fluid level to make sure you don't boil it dry.
