    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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 is this? Why do I need it? Can I remove it without effecting anything negatively? I was thinking about rewiring it to the new 6 way fuse block Im putting on the bike. I have an open slot and everything would be condensed but If I could just get rid of it that would work too. Id just like to know what it is and what purpose it has. My 80 doesnt this on it....
 
Accessory fuse as Sqdancerlynn stated so not needed. It is an odd set-up for an accessory fuse as the are powered constantly instead of being switched so any accessory needs to be manually switched off or it will drain the battery.

One of the few changes to Suzie was to install a relay switched by ignition so that it turns off with the key. Smarter people aren't troubled by such things as remembering the obvious:o;) Someone told me that the beginning of wisdom is to recognize one's lack of it.:D
