    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.

Question on clutch switch

I recently installed an aftermarket clutch lever that wasn't exactly OEM and wasn't deactivating the clutch switch when it was pulled in. I did some research on the forums, tracked down two green/yellow wires coming down from the switch/lever area and into the headlight bucket .... disconnected them from the corresponding green/yellow wires and connected them to each other.

My question ...

There are now two empty green/yellow wires in the headlight bucket (the ones that were originally connected to the clutch switch wires), one male and one female. Do I also connect them to each other? OR will that cause a short in the system. I have been slowly working through a number of electrical problems over the past few months (sealed MF battery, replaced stator, upgraded R/R, ignition coils) and want to rule out everything else that I can.

Thanks!

You can leave those two wires hanging loose.

Look at it this way ... what do they connect to?

Yep, a dead switch. They are not going to short out on anything. :D

That's what I was thinkin', but thank you for clarifying. Will do.
 
The wires coming from the LEVER can just be left hanging. The wires coming from the HARNESS need to be connected to each other so the bike will start. Keep in mind that your bike will crank while in gear this way so make SURE, when you go to start the bike from now on, that it is in neutral or you have the clutch lever pulled in.

I love that story. Always figured if I had a hidden kill switch somewhere on my bike, I would label it "magic" and "more magic".
