    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.

is anyone using a digital voltmeter and clock, it has 3 wires. positive , neg, and 1 that says to hook up to a positive source controlled by ignition, i used the ignition fuse on a 82 GS 1100 E, what is the pupose of that and it is always on, will it drain the battery?
 
Where did you find the volt meter clock? If only it had a thermometer in it, that would be perfect. I can't say for sure if it will drain the battery, but if you are concerned half of the fuses only come on when the ignition is turned on. The power from the ignition fuse (aux fuse as well) goes up to the switch and once the switch is turned on this power is directed to the rest of the fuses.

Dude, I am no electronics tech but I would suspect the positive always hot wire is to keep the clock on and accurate. the one that goes to the ignitions is more likely to light it up and display it when your machine is one. I would suspect the always on wire is a very minimal current draw!
 
yes i seen that one at RS, i don't think it's waterproof like the other one though, i just wanted it for the V-meter, after losing my R/R, but the clock is nice, guess i'll just have to charge more often

Bostrom, may I ask where/how you mounted this unit on the 1100E...there does'nt seem to be much usable space....how is it working for you so far?
