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.
Some kind of grounding issue-so lights come on with ignition on and then just stay on when bike starts? Put your bike model/year in your signature.

Look into why they are not turning OFF.
Most of them have constant power via the ignition switch, and are lit by connecting a ground.
Whatever they are monitoring will break that connection, turning the light ON.

Vice versa? breaking the connection turns the light OFF ( no ground ). i.e. when engine starts pumping oil, the oil sender switch loses its ground so light goes out.Look into why they are not turning OFF.
