    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.

Yep me again... I have three bikes and cant get any of them running for more than a day at a time lol


A coupla weeks back my gs750 just went dead while i was riding... The lithium ion battery that was in it was totally drained... When i checked the fuses the ignition fuse was blown completely in half... I replaced the fuse and jumped it off a jeep and it ran fone to get me the few blocks home... Then the battery was too low to start it again...

does this sound more like a shorted wire or charging system problem? Dunno which way to go to tackle this???
 
Some simple tests will tell you where the problem is, but you will have to start with a known good battery.

I know some have gotten away with a lithium battery, but I am not convinced that the charging system on these old bikes charges them correctly, even when everything is working properly.

Member "posplayr" has a great set of tests that will tell you in just a few minutes where your problem is, click HERE to see his post on the topic.

I had a similar problem. My rectifier ground wire came loose and it ran on battery only which ran my battery down. My fuse didn't blow though. I reconnected my rectifier ground wire solidly and was back in business. If everything is connected properly then you would be following the link from Steve to test the stator and rectifier. In full disclosure, while I am running a lithium iron battery, I am also using an aftermarket rectifier that rectifies all three legs of the stator.
