    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.

Thanks for the SH775 advice and more

Just wanted to say thanks to all of you guys who share your advice, knowledge, wisdom, tips and tricks in this forum. This forum is fantastic. I have learned so much. I don?t post so often, I read mostly. Because the things I wonder is already posted and discussed.

My battery on my GR650 started to struggle and I was wondering what could be the cause? After some research in this forum, in the manual and some measuring I finally figured it out. It was a bad r/r. 12.5V@5000 rpm and wrong resistance and more. I almost immediately order a new regulator (shunt type) from the EBay, but I just had to check what you guys do in this situation? I didn?t know about the Shunt VS Series r/r and SH775. But thanks to you and your experience a learned that don?t go for a another Shunt type of r/r. Go for a SH775. I ordered a used SH775 from EBay and install it. Now everything is working perfect. I?m measuring 14.6V@5000. :-)

I?m celebrating this with a beer. Wishing you all a good evening and thanks once again for this magnificent forum. Never stop sharing your knowledge ;)

Sincerely
jorgeno
 
Great feedback - I also added these r/r to my bikes. What kind of beer did you use to celebrate from Norway?

Hi Jorgeno. I too have received a lot of great info and advice from this site over the years. I hope you stick around. You should post a little something about yourself over in the GS Owners forum, and maybe post a few pictures of your bike.
