    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.

:confused::confused:Ok...here it is... I have a 1982 GS1100L. after getting awsome info here it runs great!!!! Thanks for the help.. Now after returning home from a ride the other day, my dumbass forgot to turn the key off and it killed the battery. I tried to jumpstart the bike. The main 15amp fuse blew. I changed it and didnt try that again. I charged the battery overnight and then fired her up. I thought i was good until The bike died 60 miles from home. Battery was dead and would not even click. A really nice motorist stopped to help. I went to the local Wal-Mart and got another Battery and it started rite up. I drove the bike to my x-wifes and threw a charger on it. Now both these batteries are brand new but after about a half hour or so the bike drains them and it will not run. The bike is 28yro. what it creation could be doing this??? A bad RR? or Stator? I havnt blown anymore fuses but its now killing batteries. WTF. any ideas how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance!!!:confused:
 
is it most likely the stator or RR or both...where should i start checking first?
