    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 again, on 1982 GS1100E, the neutral light was not coming on, I opened the sproket cover and looked at the switch and the wires, I found one wire cut, I resoldered the wire, I still dont have light, the rest of the wires seemed okay, but there was a section of the wires that were very dry, I can check to see if there are any cut wires in the wire cover, is it worthed to do that? is this switch available new!
Also, the fuel guage needle vibration, I took the connectors apart and clean and reconnect them, but did not fix the problem, could it be from the unit inside the tank? the reason I ask this, becuase I have another unit I can replace. Any info will be helpful.

Mine had something similar, where several of the wires were broke at the switch, try pulling on the remaining ones to make sure they haven't broken (inside the insulation) where the soldered part ends and the wire flexes...I resoldered mine and got everything to work. Even if you replace the switch, you'll still have the wiring to deal with.

You can test the unit by trying to complete a circuit with a light or somthing simular to tha end of the wires to tha metal circle parts on tha rubber also check the spring loaded needle and ur wiring harness....

Hi bboxer, thank you for your respond, tell me again how to test the switch? and where is the spring loaded needle?

Hey Ard. I thought a little bit more on my indicator from my 81 1100E, but I am sure it won't work. The 81 1100E has only a big green light for neutral, not a six position switch like the 82 or 83 models have. It has to be different.

Sorry buddy, good luck with repairing yours.

Hey Jethro, thank you for the info, I will do some more testing to come to the bottom of this all. I had good time riding with you guys on sunday we went to some very nice places I hope we can do it again before it gets much colder.
