    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...

    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 have a 1980 gs 400, i know you might all laugh but this is my stuck point. i talked to my shop at school and they said that they can trickle charge my batter tomorrow, and have i ready by tomorrow after school, if not, ill have to wait till monday or tuesday. Im looking in the manual on how to remove and it says 'open seat to access battery' how do i open the seat? do i undo the bolts connected to the signal lights? is there a latch somwhere? please, this will help me a lot!
 
I think the L models have a lock in the rear of the seat, the ign key should work the lock
 
I own a 1979 GS425E and it is basically the same machine. The lock for the seat is on the right hand side of the seat. It should be easy to see. Open it with the ignition key.
 
to save time and truble if you realy dont know how to get the seat up. your battery is shot. batterys need water every so often.

i am not trying to be a smart a$$. but that is basic maintance you should know befor ever going down the road. befor summer get the bible for your bike and give it a good lube job. find out what every part does. do the montly and yearly maintance on it. change the brake fluid.

pull the fuses one by one with the bike running then turn it off. learn what each one controls.

you would not beleve how many crotch rockets i have fixed on the side of the road. bike shops will sell any one a bike as long as thay have the cash. most of the fixes i have done could of been stoped with basic maintance befor thay even hit the road.

its your ride. mite as well learn how not to get stuck on the side of the road. it may even save you life one day.
 
Tanner, the seat on my '81 450L comes off by removing the rear turn signal bolts. However, the battery comes out of the right side-cover. Not sure how much they changed the basic layout of this bike over the years. Is your manual for an E model or an L model? That will make a difference on some areas of the bike. Dave J
