    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.

Hi,I have a 1979 Gs850GN with 15,000 miles,it has suddenly started missing and backfiring and there is no power i have to keep the idling at 1800 to stop from stalling.The battery is charging at 12.7v at 3000+ rpm and the battery is holding 12.3v of charge,do you have any ideas what to look for,i noticed that 1 spark plug wire was leaking a bit when i touched it.Any help would be great,thanks,joe
 
My guess would be the coils are bad. Your voltage readings are low? I would check your voltage meter on another vehicle. Fully charged battery will read 12.6 v Running your bike should read 13.5-14 volts
