    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.

After my 82 gs1100gk sits for a few days without starting the brand new battery is pulled down after further investigation when i check resistance between the main on the fuse panel and the ground it ohms out at .656 of an ohm does any one have any suggestions on what i could do to correct this issue?
 
with the key on or off?

With the key off it should be near infinite resistance
 
process of elimination, that will pull about 2 amps and kill your battery pronto.

Get your schematic and start pulling fuses to see when the resistance goes up. Once you isolate which circuit it is then continue to isolate by removing connectors.

If I had to guess, it is the R/R but that is only a guess without any knowledge. Could also be any control module.

Get going

That was easy. I thought earlier that you would confuse the crap out of this poor guy.
:lol:
 
Ok thanks guys its with the key off and the only circuit that is pulling it is called the main in the wiring diagram
 
OK, that makes it easier.

The Main fuse only powers ... er ... ummm ... EVERYTHING. :eek:


Fortunately, most of it is turned off when the key is off, so check the r/r as Chef suggested.

Hi Mr. ericevans14,

I would humbly suggest that you clean every electrical connection and ground connection, including the fusebox and ignition switch, on the entire wiring harness from the headlight bucket to the tail light. Proper grounding of the regulator/rectifier is essential as is the main ground from the negative battery terminal to the engine. All connections must be clean. Now how about my "welcome thang"? :)
