    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.

GS450 - Is it safe to relocate Ignitor box?

Got a new Electrosport ESR100 R/R for the 82 GS450 yesterday. Upon installing, I realize that the new one is about 2 times as big as the stock R/R...even had to buy longer screws. Now my Ignitor won't fit on the bracket cause the new R/R is too big!

I relocate the Ignitor box to the other side of the bike (closest to the negative battery terminal) and ground directly to the battery. I started up the bike, so I know that it runs with the Ignitor on the other side. I am not an electrician, is it safe to relocate this?
 
Yup.

As long as its securely fastened, the connectors are good and there are no pinched, twisted or cracked lines you'll be good to go.

Post a pic so others can see what you did. Might help someone else in the future.

cheers,

I will post some pics soon to let others see what I did. Probably not the "cleanest" mount, but good enough for me!
