    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...

    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.

Can disconnected neutral wire cause starting issue?

Hello all,
I'm still trying to start my 83 GS750ES after the winter lay-up and found that the blue wire that connects the neutral light was very loose, not making contact actually. It's about mid-way down the bike, under the tank.
Would that wire being disconnected prevent the bike front starting?
It's still so cold and snowy up here in the Frozen North that I haven't had a chance to get the bike out of the garage and try to start it.
There is also an orange wire next to the blue neutral light wire that was also loose and somewhat corroded with age. So I cleaned them both and tightened up their plugs. Now very snug.
I'm hoping these were causing my starting issues but really, not being very electrically adept, I have no idea.
Any comments or ideas would be most welcome.
thanks,
baz
 
The neutral wire won't cause the bike to not start. Orange wires are for power so that one may be more meaningful.
