    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.

OK, for you electronic gurus---no need to read any further.

For those of us that have little to no knowledge of how electrical systems really work, I have a gift of gold for you!

If you are attempting to work on your bikes electrical system, or decipher wiring advice or even the stator papers, please read:

"Motorcycle Electrical Systems: Troubleshooting and Repair" by Tracy Martin.

Tracy will take you through the baby steps of how to work on your bikes electrical system.

With all the questions that I see posted here that relate to wiring issues, I believe this is a timely read for those of us that need a little tutoring on electrical basics. It will also allow us to ask electrical questions with a little more intelligence.

Check it out here: http://www.amazon.com/Motorcycle-El...bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216305143&sr=1-1

Hope this helps :D

thats spooky, I just bought that from Amazon. Was delivered on Tuesday, and I've had a good hour reading it all, and trying to work out what it all means.
I reckon a good few reads and it'll start to sink in

Really looks like a handy book to have, perfect if you are like me and think electricity is actually a magical thing, not anything normal.
 
Like Tracy says in the book, no one becomes good at a sport without knowledge and practice.

Tackeling (sp?) electrical work for many of us is like being 50 plus pounds overweight and then trying to run a marthon without any preparation.

Let's both keep reading, practicing and learning.

Good luck!
