    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hi , all I have an 82 gs 550l . The bike ran great for 4 seasons but this year it's giving me a bit of trouble . Runs like new for about the 1st 10 miles I stopped at a stop light and it stalls ,after cooling down fires up and I rode it home running great . I think it may be an igniter or the pick up coil . also noticed when its acting up it seems to want to fire after I let off the start button . I'm leaning towards the igniter any help with some tests. Thanks Vince Ps

I agree it's probably the igniter. The later 550's were known to have issues. If it dies completely, then I doubt it's a coil or an individual pickup. Don't know of any reliable tests on just the igniter since the later igniters also controlled timing. I see a Dyna ignition in your future.;)
 
Thanks , I was lucky enough to get the bike to stall at home I put a good plug in the 1st cyl wire it had spark but it was weak and intermittent .
