    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.

Gear Positioning Sensor not working

Guys,
After my complete rebuild, my Gear Positioning Sensor no longer works. I have power and I have tested it all the way down the sensor itself. For example, using a test light when in neutral the test light will work when touching the GPS pad little circle where neutral is.

Question for you guys, I think I am missing a contact point of some kind? Like a little bullet? Here is a picture of the bike itself. Should something be in the GPS hole that makes contact with the GPS pad? 1980 GS1000G

Yep, the part that bolts onto that has 6 little holes (contact points) that the pin in the part you're showing makes contact with, as it rotates, to complete the circuit to each indicator light.
 
Yes! Complete engine rebuild and this little part! LOL Thank you guys
 
Look on the floor. That’s where I found mine. A month after taking the engine out of the frame :D
