    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.

1981 GS 850GL ignition coils, wires, etc

Just bought a 81 GS850GL. Haven't done alot of work on a bike before, but I got to looking at this one and looks like the spark plug wires need replacing. The wires are molded into the coil so I figure I will need to buy new coils before I can replace the wires. Can anyone tell me what a good set of coils is for this bike and where I can purchase them?
 
I really appreciate your help on this. I'll check into the links you've posted! Thanks again!
 
Hi,
You can replace the wires if you want to do a little work ans save a bunch of money.
I am about to do mine too, I have seen many post from people who have done it fairly easily without problems, they all say just get the right size wire at the auto store. 9mm I think but check yours.
