    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 dont understand switching oil caps though? wouldnt it have been better to let him go check for your cap and wait?.. he was riding with out the cap yes? after you lost your oil? lol,
check the ignition wires under the tank for shorts it will kill batteries!
i rode my 750 , new battery out of town!:eek: got back mile from home bike started dying, ... well got home checked battery no acid!:eek: filled it went dead, shop guy gave me a new one, same thing happened only on long out of town rides around town ect... well come to fun out the wires under the tank rubbed bare and was shorting it out, yes i checked all of them when i first got the bike so im still at a loss as to how it happened lol, i thank GOD it made it home 2 times before not working anymore
 
Great story, and ride. Left NYC in Jan for sunny LA, where the weather is considerably nicer. Was out yesterday with my son on a weekend ride, but nothing exciting except for a few crazy car drivers as usual.
 
That's worn out detents in the key switch. I had mine fall out once, on top of the engine, luckily. Now, I've got a lanyard on it that I hook over the mirror.

Ok, good to know.
I've already embarrased myself with this problem.
I rode like 20 minutes to the store, pull in the parking space, and reach down to turn my ignition off....only there's no key!
I look behind me, and the key is sitting engaged in the rear-seat release.:oops:
