    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...

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.

My GS750 ignition problem...i think

Hey,

I'm not too motorcycle savvy, but I have a '77 GS750 and when riding down the freeway, half the power cut out all of a sudden. Just to maintain 60mph i had to use full throttle. I pulled off the highway and the bike died as i slowed down. The bike would not restart so i had to use a truck to get it home. because i have a car as well, i stopped riding. A year or so later I got it running but still the bike did not have full power. When inspecting the ignition wires (as recommended by a friend) I saw they were corroded and decided to replace them. When trying to remove them from the coils, the rubber insulation around the wires had melted to the coiles and broke off the wire staying inside the coils. This make it impossible to insert new wires. Perhaps this is where my lack of knowledge hurt me. I have heard ignition coils are rarely the problem...I feel stuck. What steps would you all take to get the bike running again? Any comments are greatly appreciated!

John
 
If they are the stock coils the wires are molded into the coils. I recommend a set of Accel or Dyna replacements. I don't believe you can replace just the wire.
 
thanks

thanks
