    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.

Hello to my So. Cal. friends,

I just wanted to let you all know that I'll be doing some regular maintenance to my bike on Saturday. If you'd like to pick my brains (Warning! Slim pickings!) and look over my shoulder while I change oil and check valve clearances, feel free to drop by. I also need to check/clean my fusebox, take some charging system measurements, and I can show you the coil relay mod. If you'd like to hang, PM me and I'll give you directions.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Cliff, would it be possible to photograph and post the coil relay details? I'm poor at reading electrical dwgs, need real life info. I have a new Duanage R/R ready to mount. Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ted

Well, for one thing, the knowledge I possess is more like "half-vast". :D

I'm afraid that video production is beyond the scope of my time, talents, and resources. I'm also afraid that the market for GS instructional repair videos would be rather small. I prefer snapping a few pictures and sharing what I learn. I'm pretty good at being a parrot, collecting and sharing information through my website, and generally tooting my own horn. But pretty much everything I know about GS bikes I have learned from the good and helpful people in this forum. I like giving back to the community.

There's really not much to add to the documentation that's available on my site. I was a little intimidated at first, cutting into my wiring harness :eek:, but once I got in there it was very self-explanatory. The next time I have the tank off I'll snap a few of pictures and see if I can clarify the documentation already on my site. Thanks for the suggestion.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Pics of mine here & on the following page:

Red goes to a blade fuse to the battery direct. Blue goes to the battery Neg direct.

The other two wires (inside the plastic fluted wire wrap) Go up the underneath of the frame tube, one (the trigger) joins into the Orange whites that normally feed the coil where they leave the harness (about halfway along the tank), the other relay switched live (from 87 on the relay) goes to the right side coil & there is a link that joins that to the left hand coil.

Works great.

Dan :)
