    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.

Hey guys iv been lurking the forums for a while and need some advice.
I have a 1980 gs 1000 Tuesday it quit on me check the plugs they were fouled decided to check my oil and had gas(guess i forgot to turn of the petcock) so changed plugs and oil still no spark i drained my batt trying so i left it on the charger checked comression and had none gave it a running start and it turned over but didnt fire after doing this four or five times drained my batt so back to the charger tried last night got it up to about ten mph oped the clutch and it started but i can only get2 or 3 starts out of it before have to push it. I think it is the starter clutch but also think i have a bad batt and possible some thing worng with the charging system.Thanks in advance for your response.

hi and welcome, where are you from?
try using jump leads on it and see if it starts off the starter. if it does it sounds like your battery is toast. get a new one then before you do any riding check the charging system is working ok

Yeah, do this, but remember don't jump from running vehicle (sometimes too much voltage). Even if it won't fire, it will/should crank so you can move on to other tests.
