    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.

Yup, took some doing to get the 650 where she is now, but it was worth every minute and every penny.
The white bike is a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard M109R and the color is an amazing "Pearescent White". Photo taken at the showroom of the Motorcycle Mall in New Jersey. I am seriously working towards that awesome machine as my from me to me birthday gift come April.

Well I got mine in yesterday went home and installed it looks great. But not sure it is working properly.
The unit stay on all the time. With or without the key on.
The top lights for the voltage do not appear to be working and absoulty no back light.

I ran the wires under the gas tank toward the battery.
The red wire is connected straight to the battery and the orange wire is connected to the fuel gauge wires coming out of the gas tank.
Ground is connected to the Fuel gauge ground as well.

I am planning on moving the red wire to the fuse box.

Is this unit on all the time? Or did I get a defective unit?

Also hooked up my running lights yesterday. They brighten up the highway.

the orange wire needs to go to a switched power wire other than the gas gauge, the gauge has a resistor in it that cuts voltage going to the sending unit down to 5-6 volt range, that is why the back light and voltage tell tail lights are not working.
 
My first thought was being careful not to turn the sending unit into an igniter!
