    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

Dies in first gear

I have a gs650gld, but for the life of me can't help my roommate get his bike running right. Its a Yahama Seca II (please don't hate me, its his bike). anyway, its starts up fine, but then dies as soon as you put it in first gear. Any thoughts? I already eliminated the clutch cable as the culprit. I don't want him to give up on biking, thats why I ask.
 
Do you mean the kickstand? I'll check, but it does run. It's wierd, casue it wouldn't work, so we left and went for a drink to let it cool down. Then it worked fine. The thing works one minute, then it doesn't. It's like a moody child.
 
Sidestand switch

Sidestand switch

Try to unplug the Sidestand Switch. I had a 400 Maxim with the same problem.
 
Wow, we are a couple of idiots. You guys nailed it on the head. It just happened that every time we ran into this problem the kickstand was down. I can't believe it was that simple!!! Thanks for the help, I have to go run head first into a wall!! I am so wee tod did.
