    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.

Alrighty guys happy to report the bike is coming along better than expected. Got a battery and charged it up and put it in when I got home from work today. Now everything came alive all lights work only issue is the kickstand dummy light stays on. Checked the connection for it and connectors are good so probably got a bad switch. So is there any way to just disable this for the moment and with this switch active does it disable the starter on these bikes? Cause when I hit the starter button to see if that works I get nothing at the moment. So I'm hoping that's it I'd be crazy stoked. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
My 1150 still cranks with the side stand light on. Did you check the clutch switch at the lever?
 
Todd If in doubt disconnect the wires for the clutch switch inside the headlight bucket and connect them together on the bike side of the harness to essentially delete the switch. If it cranks that way it indicates a fault in the switch. You trying to get her ready for Laconia? Only a week and change away.
 
Would love to go to laconia but don't think I'll be ready this year.
 
Well it may very well be the clutch switch or lack of one lol. Stopped by the house on my way by and took a look and on the bottom of the clutch perch is an open slot where a clutch switch would go. So I'll have to track down the wires when I get off and here's hoping that's the ticket. I really dislike electrical lol
 
Well it's not the clutch switch that was already disabled not quite sure what it was cause went thru all the connections and rerouted some wires and damned if she didn't crank on over like a champ. Woohoo I'm psyched. Now gotta reconnect some fuel and see if she starts but it sounds really strong. Still gotta fix the sidestand light tho.
