    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.

78 GS1000E Wiring Questions

  • Thread starter Thread starter dluszcz
  • Start date Start date
I think I'm just paranoid.

I just had the lights on for about 5 minutes, and the fuse is about the same temp as yesterday. This is about the same amount of time that they were on yesterday when I realized they were warm.

The wire within an inch or 2 of the fuse holder is also a little warm. However, when I move further away from the fuse, the wires are just like the rest. Not warm at all.

Since I have a 10amp fuse in there, I'm hoping that if the draw is too much, it will blow the fuse before melting the wire. At least that's what I'm hoping.

Just left the brights on for 5 minutes and the exact same thing happened.

Touching the fuse, fuse holder and wire close to the holder, it feels a little warm. Other than that, no where else.

The wires coming from the headlights are NOT warm and that is definitely a good sign. They were really hot before I did the relay mod.

I think it'll be fine, I hope anyway, and I'm going to finish taping it up and re-zip tie everything to the frame so I can remount the gas tank when I'm done rattle can painting it.

Thanks to all for your input.
