    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.

GS1150 Ignition woes

Last year, my tach started to not fully indicate the engine RPM. It would drop, recover, and sometimes not read at all. But the GS kept running. A few months later, it would occasionally run on two cylinders. The problem was always intermittant. One coil was out of spec, so it was replaced, as well as a couple of plug wires. Did not fix the two cylinder drop out issue. Swapping out the magnetic pickups didn't help, nor swapping in the spare tachmeter. The igniter always passed the static testing procedure. Finally, I gave up and ordered a igniter replacement from Hyper Performance in New Zealand. Bolted it in, and the GS1150 is back to life! Only downside was it takes over a month shipping to get it from there to here.

Now onto rebuilding the front forks. At 88,xxx miles, they deserve it.
