    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.

Dropped bike: now headlight and spd/tac lights don't work ?

I was parking, driving very slow, when i accidently dropped the bike very slowly to the ground (it fell to the right if you're sitting on it) http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif. Doesn't look like any physical damage has happened, but now the headlight and lights that illuminate the speedometer and tacometer don't work. Checked fuses, connections, bulb (headlight), all good. Blinkers (actual and indicators), breaklight, and 1-2-3-4-5-6 gear/nuetral lights DO work. Any ideas?
Thanks!!

Well if the fuses, connections and bulbs are all good, that doesn't leave you many logical alternatives...

It's time to get out a multimeter and systematically check the circuitry to help isolate the problem.

I take it the bike still runs OK?

thanks for your replies...
i double checked fuses and removed gas tank to check connections there... all good. then, just for fun, i replaced the headlight fuse even though the fuse looked good and it fixed it. I guess even though the fuse looked good, something was wrong with it.

Thanks,
