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.

Oil Pressure Light always on

This is kind of a tech item, but more about due diligence. Either way I just wanted to post a quick story so it shows up in future searches (without cluttering up the tech section).

I had an issue with the oil pressure light always being on, so with the day free I decided to tackle the problem. I searched this forum for answers, and the popular solution that popped up was to check to see if there was a ground issue. I looked in the manual for the wire colors so I could trace them. First,I removed the back of the tack to make sure everything was in the correct place.

Bingo! It turns out that I had the wrong wire going to the oil light, and I was riding around with my high beams on.

Lesson 1: Don't assume you did things right the first time.

Lesson 2: Check the easy stuff first, it'll save you a ton of time.
