    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.

Well i've just recently boughten a 79 gs750. What the problem is, is earlier today when i was trying to get it started, i had it hooked up to a charger since i was told that battery was bad. Well it couldn't get enough juice to turn over with the button so i just kick started it, which by the way, i could kick it once and it would want to start but after that it acted like there was no spark? Anyways, when i turned the key on, the light/panel/horn all worked. Now it won't even start when i kick it, and theres no accessories. I've read the stator papers, but cant test that right now, but does that kinda sound like a bad stator/reg/rec?
 
Welcome to the site.
I recall good old small bikes that would run on a magneto
no battery no hassles.

My bike requires a properly functioning battery as part of its system.
I am pretty sure you would see no spark now if you were to kick it over while using a test plug.

Get yourself a new battery and then we'll go from there. Oh and welcome to the asylum. Prepare for a little frustration and much fun.
 
koolaid. No i haven't checked the fuses, i suppose i should have done that. well, anyone wanna guess what i just found? Yep blown fuse. The top one on the fuse panel.

allo, im aware of that, just gotta take it one step at a time. Doesn't help the PO had some fun with the wiring harness, took off turn signals and brake light for a different light. Not the best job at all.

Now that you found a blown fuse, you might want to figure out why it blew. It could be just age, but if another one blows you will need to find the short(s).
