    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.

Front Running/Signal Light Proper Operation?

My 1981 GS1100EX has the standard dual filament 23/8 watt front signal/running light bulbs. When operating my bike the 8 watt running light filament is on all the time, even when I have the left or right turn signal lights (23 watt filaments) activated. Is this correct, or should, for example, the left front running light be off when the left side signal light is activated?

My older Honda front runing lights cut off when their respective left or right side signal lights are deployed. I'm sure this is intended to make the signal light more visable for safety sake. Should my Suzuki be the same way?
 
No, Suzuki had not figured out how Honda did that.

I also have enjoyed the blanking of the running light on that side when the signal is activated, but I have only seen that on Hondas.

Thanks Steve ... well at least I know mine is correct at least.
