    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.

Tyco relay saves the day

I wired a relay into my bike last winter and during my first ride an over-voltage killed the relay before it could burn out my ignitor, etc. :) You can tell a Tyco relay is burned out by the lack of vroom vroom from the engine and the blue liquid that escapes out of the relay. :P

Cheers, Steve
 
What's a Tyco relay, other than the sort you find in kids' toys?

It's just the brand of relay I was using. I had a relay to run the accessories after turning the key.

generic universal relay, commonly found in almost all cars on the road today.

sounds like he did the ignition bypass modification.
it is were a relay is used to control the electrical load, instead of it all going through the ignition switch. (high resistance!!)
you often will gain a good half volt, maybe more, maybe a bit less, doing the bypass mod.
