    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.

My horns on my 1980GS850G no longer work.
Do they go bad? I have voltage at the horns and
the ground from the switch is present when the
button is pushed. They did work when I
bought the bike three months ago. Havent
used the horn until two days ago when some one
pulled out in front of me. No honk. I gave that
person the number one sign!!!:mad:
 
Easy to check, just take it off and get some wire and connect straight to the battery, if it works, clean the horn switch. If it doesn't go to a parts store and buy a new one. I just replaced both of mine recently and the price was like 10 dollars each, I also bought 2 diffferent kinds of horns so that the sounds are more noticable.
 
mine stopped working for a while.... i told a friend about it gave it a little wack out of frustration...worked just fine after that... if the battery test dose not work give it a hit...haha

Thats tough to do when you need it. Spray the ever livin crap out of it with electrical contact cleaner. Pull that little screw out of the back and spray in there too.
 
I removed the horns from the bike and was able to get them to work by
banging them on the work bench. I did spray them with some contact
cleaner also. We will see how long they last.
