    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.

I have fried two ignition units on this bike and do not understand why. Each unit last about a year and then it will drop left cylinder, believe it or not but changing the tension on ign mounting screws will bring cylinder back to life, this works for awhile. These units are hard to find and dynatek does not make a system for the 300. This is my wifes bike and she wants to ride!!!!
 
if it were me i'd TRY to remove the thing from it's case and use a hairdryer/heatgun to take off the black potting material, then re-do the solder joints.

definitely sounds like bad solder joints on the printed circuit board.

I have successfully fixed a couple this way, but not one like yours so good luck .

and CHECK the charging system while you are at it.. it might just be killing the modules !!
