    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.

Keep blowing tail light bulbs

Vehicle: 1985 GS1150 frame, 1150 cylinders bored .5mm over, 1150 welded crank, 1100 head, 34mm Mikuni carbs with DynoJet, KZ1000 stator.

Issue: tail lights continuously blow. Specifically the running light portion. The brake light stays working.


This only happens when I'm constantly revving and shifting at high (7.5k+) RPM's, i.e. when corner carving.

I've tried a 2087, 2287, and 2387 bulb, and they all end up blowing out.

Ideas?

Your voltage regulator simply can't keep up, or is already shot.

Use a voltmeter to verify, then install a new Polaris R/R to cure.

Voltage reg probably gone. I think it is probably a Honda. I wired it up using coil relay mod.

maybe check that the sense wire is still connected. Find it and attach direct to battery and do Quick test.
