    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.

Problems starting my GS425

Before getting too theoretical, just try and jump start it from another good battery even your cars... and then go from there;)
 
Oh man, I can't explain how embarrassed I am to post this but here goes.. I took the battery to BatteriesPlus where I bought it and wanted to see if there was a way they could help me out (either confirm it's toast or replace it). If not, I was mentally prepared to buy a new battery after pretty much eliminating everything else (or not... :o). Take it in, tell the guy that I've had the battery for less than a year and I think it's dead. He picks it up and says "Well, yeah, it's totally dry." No water, at all, nada, nothing, zippo. :eek: He puts it on the tester and says 'see, it's dead. whoa, no it's not" It was dry but still showing a charge? He was totally confused, told me to put distilled water in it, throw it on the charger and see if it's okay. I did exactly that, let it charge for a couple hours and started my bike. Rode it around for about 15 minutes too.:dancing: We'll see how it does tomorrow. :pray:
 
Trust me Brion, I actually envy that result...

I still have absolutely no idea how my firing on one cylinder seems to have fixed itself. I swapped everything around, fiddled with this and that, tried to work out what was stopping it, then suddenly spark on both sides again. It did this on two separate rides after a couple of km's and now I can't fault it.

Sometimes silly obvious mistakes can be a blessing... glad you found the issue :)
