    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.

Plug wires on GS850

It appears that the plug wires for my GS850L are fused directly into the coil with no way to remove/replace them. It's as if you need to replace the coil to replace the wires. Does anyone know if that's really the case? If not, how do you replace them?

Thanks,
Ace.
 
I believe you can pick the epoxy resin from around the cable entries to remove them. Or you can do what I did: cut them off about 1 inch from the coils, cut the heads off some 30mm panel pins and sharpen both ends, stick them into the cut ht lead leaving 15mm protruding, push the new ht leads onto the sharpened end until both leads butt together and cover with three layers of heat shrink sleeving. Simple.
 
Seems the problem is not electrical after all, but carbuerator releated. I swapped plug wires for #1 and #4, and #4 still had the problem. Seems #4 cylinder is running rich at idle intermittantly. When it's happening, the idle is about 300 RPM below normal and the plug is sooty black. I have new plugs. It may suddenly go away when I restart the bike, but return just as suddenly. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ace.
 
That's where I went next after concluding it couldn't be electrical. I took out the #4 pilot jet , cleaned it and sprayed the passages with carb cleaner. It has run OK since, but not yet long enough to conclude that the problem is solved.

Thanks,
Ace.
