    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.

Lights grow dim

My 80 gs1000g has a little problem I think?? :roll: The bike has a vetter trunk w/lights and operate only while braking and as running lights, same with windjammer. My problem, my directionals cause all others to dim with each flash. Not a heavy amount but enough to be a nusince. Any ideas? Is it normal?
Thanks,
Mark
 
Have you cleaned and tightened all the connections on the bike? You might think about adding a relay so the headlight gets power straight from the battery instead of having to share power with everything that goes through the ignition switch. Focus Frenzy has a wiring diagram for this. PM him.
 
Check the ign switch!!. I also have a Vetter w/trunk. I had problems with lights on my 79 850. Any elect load on the lights, brake or turn would cause the lights to dim, most noticable at lower RPM's. Traced to a loss of voltage thru the switch. I too added a relay to the light circuit.
 
Thanks for the input, I'll give it a go on the connections and look into the relay and switch. Any Idea as to where I might find the items both of you spoke of??

Look for a site user called focus frenzy, his real name is Leon and send him a Personal Message. He can send you the diagram and tell you what to get. You could also do a search for a thread called, "focus frenzy wiring mod" or something like that. It's basically a 20 amp automotive relay like you would use for driving lights and such. You hook up one set of terminals to the existing headlight wires to switch the relay on and off. Then the relay feeds power to the headlight off the battery.
