    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.

The 10amp fuse keeps blowing, it's the one for the horn,fuel gauge,turn signal, indicator panel, etc. My bike is a 79 GS850G (stock). any common problems I should look at?
Thanks Jeff
 
Sounds like time to open the headlight bucket and start looking at connections and wiring.
 
Watch out for horn connection- it's hot when ignition is on, so a chafed wire could blow fuse.
 
That fuse also powers the brake lights, so check the wires going to the brake switches on the right side of the handlebar and near the right footpeg.

Someone on here gave me great advise once with same problem, unplug everything that goes to that fuse, put in a new fuse and plug in each item one at a time till fuse blows, then you know that is where you need to look for short or some problem. terrylee
 
Check the front brake light switch. Mine broke and the little piece of metal floated around and shorted out. It took the fuse when I hit the brake.
