    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.

Good day blingbling0808.

Welcome to the forum.

I see You are from Kelowna and that you have a 550.

It Could me a few things.

Can you tell us about yourself and about the bike. It's history, what was done to it.

For instance. did you have for a long time and this is new?

Did you just get it?

Is the bike modified?
 
I've had a bad coil do that on a car, and on a bike. Shorts internally when hot. Does it have spark when it won't run?

I've heard of ignition module failures when hot only as well.
 
a bad coil really? never thought of that bad your right it doesnt sound like its getting spark when and after it shut off and wont start again and here i was thinkin carb problem thank you for your help
 
My gs550es was doing this, the stator wires were routed poorly by the PO and sitting on the head, they would get hot, resistance would increase and the bike would die until they cooled and the ohm load went back to normal.should be 3 yellow wires, just rout them so they stay cool before you buy a coil pack.
