    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.

I currently race a 78 GS1000E and in my last two races on lap 5 and 6 my bike has suddenly lost power. The first time it was mid corner and resulted in a crash, the second time was on a straight and it seemed as if the bike lost most of its power, I was able to pull off and the bike died. When we got the bike back to the pits it wouldn't even turn over, but the battery is new and had good voltage.
After the bike cooled down 3 plus hours, it fired up and ran great.
I'm think that I have some electrical component that is failing in the extreme heat. The bike has Dyna coils and ignition on it.
Any ideas on how to test for this, I can't just rude the bike around the streets to heat it up.
Thanks
Paul
 
Dyna-s ignitions have a habit of failing in high heat, I run one on my cl175 ahrma bike, but I leave the cover off for extra cooling. Others drill vent holes to help cool.
That really doesn’t explain the “won’t turn over” part though.
