    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.

Resistance Readings w/ New Coils and Wires

I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of six problems/questions in one thread, so I thought I'd separate one at least.


Got my 2000 Suzuki GSX 600 F coils and some accel wires, 7mm, hi-temp, super stock, copper core, and I hooked 'em up to the coils. With the universal boots on those wires, I'm getting a secondary resistance reading of 15.3L with the multimeter set to 200K ohms.

I want to make sure that the above is a good reading before cutting off the caps from the wires and putting the new NGK caps I've got, so I can still return the set if needed.

Thanks,
Mike
 
Well it's a bit low but if that's without the NGK resistor boots it's probably OK. Stick those boots on and test -- that'll be the real reading.

Well, that's the thing. In order to stick on the NGK's, I'll have to cut the old boots off, and then if they aren't high enough, I can't return them!
 
25.5 now with the NGK's on there. Please, please, please tell me that's good news.
 
Any advice on securing these wires to the coils? I've got black rubber insulator sealant. Should I spread some on the wires before inserting them to the coil, or slap it on after the wires have been attached?
 
25.5k sounds fine. You might put a little dialectric grease on the contacts before securing the wires in there if you want. Aren't there clips that hold the wires in? If not, whatever not-terribly-permanent method of affixing them will be fine...

Those clips broke with the slightest amount of pressure. Terrible.

Thanks,

I had the same problem with the wires I recieved for my Dyna S. Ain't gonna tell anyone how I fixed it. But those clips aren't the best.
