    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.

Youre missing a sensor in one cell of your battery. The light is a battery water level warning. It has nothing to do with weather the bike is charging or not. Find the wire that went to the sensor and connect it to the + battery post and the light will go out.

You need a volt meter. With the Bike running about 2k RPMs check the battery voltage. It should be over 14vdc. If not you have a bad RR or stator. Read the Stator Papers in the Garage section on the GSR home page.
 
your battery may be toast, the light is just a fluid level indicator, ^^^ what he said
