    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...

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.

Replacing stock wires on Bandit coils

How important is it to clean out the gray adhesive that held in the original wires? Some of it seems to be on the electrodes that I'll be screwing the new wires onto, but it didn't seem to hamper performance with the original wires.

Do you guys put dielectric grease on your wires before attaching them to the coils and new plug caps?

Thanks,
/UM
 
Despite what you may read on other forums the HT wires on bandit coils are not meant to be replaced, getting them fitted & sealed properly is a nightmare because of this so i'd advise leaving them alone

I've already done it once on my 750T. Worked wonders.

Why the question than mate :confused:

Also to have the wrong rated coils if you are using bandit 12 coils on a gs :(...... b12= 2 to 3 ohms while most gs's are 3 to 5 ohms

Because it was three years ago and I can't remember if I cleaned them out or not!

Seriously? Bandit 12 coils won't work??

That's a big disappointment ...

lol i'm like that with remembering stuff sometimes mate, its my age :)

The bandit coils will work but i'm not sure for how long, the last time i did it as a quick get you home repair on a gs1000 the coils got very hot & performance suffered, once i changed back to stock coils normal service was resumed

With the bandit coils back in their original home one failed within a month & the other failed within 6 months & i can only presume using them on the gs caused this as ive never had one fail before or since
