    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.

I'm stumped

My 1983 gs750e does not have any power to anything other than the nuetral light. The starter will bump if I jump the relay and the battery has a full charge. any help is appreciated.:?
 
What've you done to it so far?

I'd:
Check the fuses
Check the ignition switch
Use a test light on the wiring, See if there's power to the switches.

Somebody probably installed the ign. switch in funny.
 
Need more cowbell.
Did you do anything prior to this happening? Worked on the bike? Added or removed equipment? Was the bike proper yesterday and today you went to start it up and this occurred?
Remember that electricity will take the path of least resistance. So you may be experiencing a neutral light because that is where all the juice is going due to the fact that the neutral switch is grounded through the engine cases. Go into the headlight and see if you can unplug the feed for the neutral switch. I THINK it's a blue wire. Does the light go out and something else light up? Better yet, get some car jumper cables and attach it to the negative side of the battery and take the other end of the cable and attach it to the frame. Anything change?
I'm thinking bad ground. Be careful and have the tank off and watch and feel the harness for smoke and heat. And have a fire extinguisher ready that's rated for electrical fires:shock:

You'd be better off ohming out the ground circuit to see if that is in fact the problem.

Please be extremely careful.
