    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.

Ugh!

82 gs550 ran fine. Put K&N pods on, took old airbox out, and put daytona bars on. Went to start it today and got nothin. Lights , brake and turn signals all work. When I took the airbox out I had the rectifier, relays and such on the airbox. Do these need to be grounded for it to start? Even took the paint of the bar so it would be metal to metal contact. Electrically challenged. Help. Btw I don't have kick start to try the other way.
 
Suzuki grounded the electrics on some bikes though the airbox, which attaches to the electrical side panel. Not sure about your particular bike though. One thing I do know though is you need to rejet your carbs since you installed pods. Failure to do this, if it runs at all, will damage the engine.
 
Rejetted before I but on new bars. Wanted to get it running correct before I moved on to the next project. I thougnt it could be grounding the relays, etc. Thanks Nessism. Your 4 for 4 with the questions I have asked. I'll let you know. Thanks again
