    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 I'm Preston, lots of good info. I see myself coming to the site daily or weekly.

I just bought my first bike a 1982 GS450L two weeks ago.

Great bike. Original 6,800 elderly female miles. Almost all original minus a yamaha xs750 headlight. Ran like a champ until I switched to drag bars.. I searched around and think I can figured the instant rev at start up problem easy enough.

It's the fact that now after trying to "jump" the bike (for some reason it wouldn't start like normal after the handlebar switch.) with a automobile battery while not running that has caused the start button to not do anything... Anything you guys would suggest I replace to get the problem solved?

Any help would be great
 
Sounds like kill switch problem - might need to be cleaned after you disturbed it by switching bars. Kill switch off prevents cranking starter as well as killing ignition. Put your bike model/year in your signature.
 
I will have to check that out. It worked 5 seconds prior then I clicked it after killing it and nothing.
 
Sorry I'm a newbie to motorcycles, but by kill switch you mean the one on the handle bars correct?
