    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.

Front turn signals?

Are my front turn signals suppose to stay on all the time like most newer bikes or just blink when you turn on the switch? I have a 1983 gs 850. Thanks
 
Probably, early 80's is when that started. My 80 1100 doesn't, 83 1100 does. Take a bulb out, if it has 2 contacts on the bulb it has running lights, 1 contact, turn signal only
 
its not so much the bulbs but the bulb holders you need to check (as a single fillament bulb can still be fitted inside the holder that takes the dual fillament bulb)
 
Are you sure? The little pins, on the bulbs & slots for the pins in the socket, are off set on the dual elements & exactly the same on the single element. may wedge them in somehow, but I wouldn't think they would really "fit". Just my opinion.
