    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

The point is very valid; there is a member here (Tone I believe) that had a Friend high side on a high speed sweeper into on coming traffic when a relay powered ignition failed.

It can happen; any people are running coil mods relays.

And the high side was directly attributable to the engine cutting out? That's kind of interesting. I would have assumed it would have resulted in the same thing as just having a bunch of engine braking suddenly. Should have been able to yank in the clutch and coast, but... not everyone obviously makes the right decision in time.

As for the side stand switch, I always left it working on my old dirt bike, and I certainly have not by-passed it on the V-Strom, but the GS doesn't have one at all (probably a POS thing). I have not had issues with this because the GS side stand is way more in the way of things than other ones I have seen.

Regardless, failsafe is the best course of action. Just think carefully about what is safest.

So, ... you never could answer those forms that asked you to "describe yourself in 25 words or less"? :D

I knew one guy that answered that with "Concise". :-\\\
