    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.

no start diagnosis tonight, fun.

Hi all,

After fixing a cam-cover leak yesterday, my 1100 would not start this morning. No click, no nothing. Lights etc on, kill switch in run. I have a bit of diagnosis to do tonight, no time to look into it this morning. Must've jostled a wire or something putting the tank etc back on. Advice to new guys: don't buy a gs unless you like troubleshooting! It's always something.......

Sounds like your electron bearings are shot. Or your starter fluid is low.

weird, i JUST changed the starter fluid last week. I'll double check it, thanks!

Well if you just checked the starter fluid last week there is no possible way it could be low. That would defy the laws of physics. More than likely it's your I fixed one thing and caused another valve. Very common on these old GS bikes.

This is almost certainly it. I did the same thing myself once. The connector carrying the starter button wire (yellow with green stripe, if I recall) came undone somehow... either while I had the tank off or when I put it back on.
 
Check the main plug that connects the headight bucket harness with the rear. It's under the tank near the front.
