    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.

Headlight Low Beam Not Working

Hi folks

GS850G 1986 (very similar to the 1983)

- Parking light works
- When i switch on Low Beam, then only the parking light switches on. No Low Beam.
- When I switch to Full Beam, then the full beam does light up

I replaced the H4 bulb, no change. No Low Beam.
So i guess i have some electrical issue.

Before i tuck into it with my novice experience, could you folks share some tips on what to check first? Perhaps there are common issues that are easy to check/fix before other tougher tasks?

For example whilst changing the bulb, when i pulled out the wiring plug, some of it crumbled in my hand, in particular the low beam connection. So i'm going to seek out a replacement plug, for starters.

Any suggestions for other quick things to check that don't involve too much disassembly?

Many thanks
Assaf
 
You can purchase high-temp H4 plugs at your local auto store. That is a good place to start.
 
I have a plug but the wiring needs to be repaired. Let me know if you want it and I'll fix the wiring and drop it in the mail for you



 
That's real nice of you cowboy.
I'll check first if I can find it cheaply locally.
