    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.

what to do with the orange, orange/green wires on SH775 install?

To be honest, I misread your post...I thought you said "rest" not "t​est"

You probably did not mis read it. When I first posted the auto spell correct put in "rest", that I changed on an edit to "test" :)
 
Your multimeter may have been off, but if you were also blowing fuses, then something just isn't right. As Tom suggested, you might have a loose ground, or you could have a short on an exposed wire. Track it down before it comes back to bite you.

You're right, I had neglected to tape back an unused power wire and it shorted. D'oh. I edited the post as soon as I noticed! However, my garbage harbour freight multimeter is garbage, and was reading wrong. When I tried today it was with a friend's meter today and everything checked out, so no worries, beef curries.
 
hey Revilo - sorry to revive an old thread but I am trying to find a home for my new SH775 on my 1980 GS450. Can you please share a picture of your mounting location? did you just put it under the side cover?
 
I put mine where the igniter was and I attached the igniter under the seat to the rear fender guard. I'm redoing some stuff now with pods and so on so it'll go in a tray under the seat where the battery box was. Don't have pictures now but I think I might somewhere I'll take a look.
