    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Charging issues!!!!!

I should take it there. But, if they tell me I have two bad batteries . . .
 
Two bad batts.is too bad. Better to know though:risk of destroying what is still good of charging/elect.system is possible/likely..cost,time,labor $$$...But my BIG concern is you at risk test/riding motorcycle that can will crap out in front of:you name it------ at any time... or like when fire/smoke erupted under motorcyce seat(R/R on meltdown etc.) while my wife was riding it in past...if testing in place ,use 1 or better 2 window/floor etc.fans on high or if on road(!!!!!) stay CLOSE to home base,I traveled/tested on my home road ,up and dwn,back and forth, approx.1 mi. range,sometimes I put 5-10mi. doing that.when bike crap out the push will be no more than 1/2 mi and that ain't good either on dirt/gravel/mud,rotten road,w/ bad:hips,back,both hands neck,shoulder,foot etc.and my "older" age..Got MoTow?,I do. I know/realize the "frustration" of the motorcycle situation,our season, nice weather days hit and miss,bike PIA,etc.and when you test ride,man ,it feels good to just ride the thing, even with all the flaws/problems,but please use best judgement, you will be one day be rewarded beyond expectations ,if you be safe and mindfull,do what has to be done(properly),the best is yet to come; over and out.
