    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.

GSX1100EFE Voltage drop

I am having a problem with a voltage drop in the circuit to the starter relay. With the engine switch in the off postion I am getting 12V, in the on postion it drops to 8v, if I disconnect the coils the voltage remains at 12V. My coils are 2.2 ohm dynas, (I believe I should have 3.0 ohm coils fitted with a Dyna S ignition) are they faulty?, how can I test them?

Regards

Matt
 
I don't know a lot about this, but everything I have read on this site when it comes to voltage is to check all your grounds. And to add extra grounding from the regulator to the battery. If you do a search on the site you will find lots of info.

Yes you should have 3 ohm coils The dyna 3 ohm coils are green and should have the ohms printed on the coil. Another possible voltage loss is thru the ign switch itself
 
Maybe a little bit basic, but have you checked that the battery is OK?
