    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.

Turning on lights turned off my bike.

Hey everyone. I'm new to this forum, and I'm new to my 1980 Suzuki gs550. I bought this bike yesterday, and every time I rode it before I bought it, it worked fine. I have it here at home now. So basically all today I've been having trouble. When it's cold, it starts right up with no choke. But it wouldn't idle, it would just shut down if I didn't keep the RPM's up. I messed around and turned the idle screw up and now it will idle. But right after I turned the screw, and let it idle for a few minutes, I turned on the headlight and the bike shut off. And it wouldn't start back up. It seems like after it's been running for a few minutes, if it shuts off, it will not start again until it's cold (maybe 4 hours later. ) the spark plugs look new, but they have some blacking on them, and it won't start back up with starter fluid. Any ideas? It left me stranded at a gas station earlier, and I got it started on a prayer and raced home so it wouldn't shut off. This is very frustrating. Thanks for any replies.
 
Thanks for those links. Never saw those before. I'll start on that list.
