    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...

    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.

greetings all!

i am new to this site (obviously), and i have found it so far very informative! i recently got an '82 GS1100GL. for some reason i cannot figure out or find reason for, it keeps blowing it's main power fuse. put a new one in, and i'll be lucky to make it another fifty yards before *poof* no more power, period! anyone have any suggestions?[-o< i can find no worn wiring, or exposed connections...

i'm supposed to be going on a ride this coming friday, and this started today!

thanks
josh
 
Is it the stock wiring loom? Has it been rebuilt?

Pull the tank off and check under there for worn wires, something might have been trapped at some point.

It sounds like a short to me so I would just give it a good going through

Failing that.. remove the fuse and replace with a steel bar of the same dimensions. I guarantee it wont blow again! :shock: (kidding) :-D

Nice bike btw!
 
stock wiring, i've traced all the wiring around the starter, the battery, under the tank, and the plug wires. nothing frayed, nothing worn. i'm going to get a piece of steel now...

Hey bro, check the wiring first, but it might be your R/R. I had to replace mine in my 85' 700es. No more blown fuses!:shock: :shock: !!!!

That's what I was thinking. See the Stator papers and check out your charging system.
 
when the rectifiers in the R&R fail they become a dead short back through the stator.

odds are if you can find no short anyplace in the exposed harness you will need the R&R and a stator also.
