    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.

Another starter clutch Question

Now you made me look at my notes..;) and it's all coming back to me!
I thought all the 1150 came with solid state ignitions. I never had mechanical advance.
i started out on #2 best power curve but pinging went to # 3 no pinging lost a good bit in the middle of the curve (torque)
did the calculations and figured why not try #4 how would it know what bike it's on 2 valve or 4. And got an ok curve no pinging and the added bonus of only 7 deg at start figured it would help the starter clutch!

do you think it might be bad??? I mean I was just doing my own thing and that has led me into disaster before.
i have been running it like this since about '07

In stock configuration, the 1150 came with an electronic ignition with built in electronic advance. If you have a Dyna2000 system, it too has a built in electronic advance. If you have a Dyna S system, it require retrofitting of a mechanical advance. I put a Dyna S on my 1150E when the original ignition system went south. I installed a mechanical advance from a GS850 (plug and play), very simple to do. With the Dyna S, the rotor will be too tall to fit underneath the stock 1150 ignition cover. You will need to change the cover to one from a 83 1100 which is deeper. To static set the Dyna S, hold the mechanical advance in the full advance position with your fingers and with a continuity light, set it on the ignition mark. Check running advance with a timing light.
