    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.

hi i have a gsx5550 that wont start have cleaned carbs ,new plugs,new capsnew air filter new battery it started when i had cleaned the carbs but now 3 days later nothing it wont fire just back fires im intrested in why it wont just a point i dont know if this is true a bit just like the other member who has fitted dyna coils ( i havent just the standard ones ) my ignition is looking foward on the bike is the left coil goes to 1&2 right coil to 3&4 i had the bike running fine with this combination as it was this way when i got the bike i was told it should be left coil plug leads 1 to 4 and right to 2&3 but on the coils the plug leads are one long one short so how come it suppossed to go across the bike to cylinder 4 also which one of the 2 leads from the coil goes to which plug front or back as you look at the coil so i am pressuming the cylinder are numbered 1234 left to right please help im a bit confused cheers andy
 
Yeh I am stumped too if you have the left coil sparking 1 and 2 and the right firing 3 and 4. My haynes and Clymer manals both show the left coil firing 1 and 4 and the right 2 and 3. Also what year is your GSX550? If it is an 83-86 then the primary wires going to your coil leads should be; for the Left Coil: 1 white and 1 orange/white. For the right: one wire Black/Yellow and the other orange/white. It should't run, but backfire if you have the leads hooked up other that the above.
