    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hello GS resourses members, I have just brought home an 85 gs550 es
fixer upper that has been sitting for several years. it is missing one of the two ignition coils, and there is a part missing from the left side of the
bike just along side the seat. it mounts to the frame with two short bolts and sits about an inch or two from the electical box marked "igniter" ,can anyone tell me what this is?
(see attached photos) I am going to do my best to get this bike back on the road again & any help or advice is appreciated very much!
thank you in advance
Sean

(ps just noticed that I cant post photo's directly on this board.. if the descirbed part sounds familiar please let me know)
 
COULD BE STARTER RELAY, FUSE BOX, OR A REGULATOR/RECTIFIER THATS MISSING. I AM NOT CURTAIN OF YOUR MODEL, BUT THATS WHAT IS GENERALLY THERE ON ALL GS BIKES.
 
Wow,
thank you everyone! great info, I need to pick up a new battery, coil, and
a set of tires and keep my fingers crossed!
supposedly it ran fine when it was parked a few years augo....
of course we have all heard that one before.
I really cant complain, It was given to me by a friend with to many
projects and not enough time. :D
