    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 bike works fine until I signal or turn on my headlight...as soon as I do it dies. The battery gets drained fast by it. The ground on the motor is fine and the battery is new. The regulator works fine as well. What do you think the problem could be?
 
I think you need to go back and check your charging circuit first
 
Almost sounds like you have a short in the lighting circuit somewhere if it's dying quick when the lights are flipped on.
 
When you say it dies right away, is it
<flip switch> WHAM! or...
<flip switch> one mississippi, 2 mississippi or...
<flip switch> keep riding, get stuck in 2 miles

The 2 mile verision makes me think charging system, the insta-death makes me think short.
But hey, I asked for Lynn's advice yesterday on how to mount a ground, so I'm very new at this.
 
It dies in an heartbeat... :(

It dies in an heartbeat... :(

I rerplaced the regularor, alternator, starter, battery BUT still the same prob. How will I find it if it is a short in the wiring? When you say it is the lighting system, does that mean all the singnal lights too, cause when I singnal it dies too. The battery is slowly being drained somewhere. Even if I use no electrical and ride it for about an hour on a charged battery it dies. I checked the ground on the engine and it's good. How do you go about making a good ground if you need to?
