    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

So this evening I came home and noticed that the tail light was lit on the bike? 8O 8O 8O It has not been ridden for a over a week :( . I stepped on the brake pedal and the light lit brighter, so it is just the tail light, not the brake light. Needless to say it had drained my battery. Does anyone have any friggin' idea what is going on? It has been raining all day and the bike is outside. This is freaky!
 
I think you answered your own question on the rain.....water getting into some electrical connection, a short to ground is achieved, and PRESTO! dead battery....Give your GS a new home under a garage or bike cover.
 
Check your ignition switch. Been there, done that. Could've shorted there.

Oh, hows your engine?? Find your noise??

Think the noise issue will have to be solved during this winters' rebuild.
 
My bike has a park position on the ignition switch, the tail light stays on but everything else is off. Maybe you didn't turn it all the way?
 
Yep, I'd say a drop of H20 is shorting your park contacts. Blow it out with air and it should go away. Bob
