    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...

    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.

Generator Assembly

I just discovered that one of the 2 tiny little springs were broken on what Bike Bandit.com showed as the generator assembly. Does anyone have any idea how that would affect the performance of my engine? It seems to have some mid range power loss / strange things happening and am hoping that this is the answer.

I looked at the generator assembly and can't find the two springs you are talking about...are they located on the starter clutch, maybe?

The signal generator- on the other side of the stator (sorry, didnt use the right name). It's shown here: http://houseofmotorcycles.bikebandi...odel_dept_id=109180&model_dept_name=GS1100(X) Its at the top of the page, they call it the govenor assy. (advancer?) I don't even really know what it does. Can anyone explain? Anyway, one of those little springs is broken. Any idea how that would affect the performance?
 
Yes, it will greatly effect performance. The spring tension is used to control your ignition timing advance...you need to fix it!

Hap
 
Those springs hold your timing cam in place. As the revs advance the centrifugal weights move out against the springs and advance the ignition. Without the springs you are too advanced too early.

However, they said the same about Mozart. :-)
