    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.

Light on when I lock it

Last night I rode into the city. Well I used the key to lock the bars and did not notice till I was leaving (actully a rider on a Victory parked next to me noticed) that either my brake light or running light was on. I did find that if I turn the key to the left the light does not come on but locking it to the right it does, any idea's why this would happen I cant think of a reason why you would want this to happen. Just curious?

One way you lock it is just for at a parking lot or something, where there is no light needed (i think to the left). But the otherway keeps the back light on incase you get stranded on the highway at night and want people not to hit your bike, while you run to the nearest gas station. Or any other time you want people to see you.. (to the right past on)..

What you noticed is normal. What is bad about that is that the position to the right is labeled "PARK", like that is where you want it when you park the bike. :oops:

The only good reason I have found for the PARK position is to accidentaly test the battery life. Problem is, you are seldom around to note when it died to record the time. 8-[

Best to just use the LEFT or LOCK position when you leave the bike.
