    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...

coil/ignition problem

Hi guys,new poster with serious problem!! I have a gs850 bobber that I'm restoring and the issue I have is that I bought it as a non runner due to a blown dyna coil. Since then I have found that it has 1 harley coil and 1 dyna and no ignition module. I am thinking this was was to make it run a bit ruff so as to sound more authentic. I have replaced the dyna coil but not the harley as it was the dyna that was blown originally,the new dyna has now blown after being on the bike for approx 10 mins. I feel like I'm chasing my tail now so any help will be appreciated
 
This is not meant as being sarcastic, but how could it be doing anything without an ignition module? Do you mean that the ignition module was replaced with a Dyna-S ignition? How do you know the coil is blown?
 
Does this creature have points ignition system? What lurks behind that little round cover on lower right side crankcase?
 
Yeah that's what I was suppose say. The dyna coil actually split so was clear that it had blown but the harley coil is still fine
 
Unsure on the points situation,it's gone dark and cold here now so haven't got to them yet
 
May have a Dyna S installed.
Get a manual so you can get a feel for the bike and its components. This will help you ask educated questions that we can help you with.
Please don't take this the wrong way and I am not calling you uneducated. (waiver for sensitive types) :p
