It won't stay down...what happens? Does it roll forward off of it? Or do you mean you push it down and it flips back up by itself?

Re: Hey WingAdmin, or anyone else. How did you mount aux fuse block?

Some of the units are designed to be held in place by the battery hold down clamp. Believe that's what the image above shows and that's how I did my GL1500. On my GL1800 I mounted inside the left pannier. That's exactly right. The fuse block is built on a piece of ABS, which has a couple of inches ...

That ACC terminal is already fused with a 10 amp fuse - it's fuse #1 in your fuse block, so while adding an additional 10 amp inline fuse isn't going to hurt anything, it also isn't really needed. Thanks Scott. I was wrong, typed 10 by mistake. My inline fuse is a 5 amp. My reason was to have a sep...

Re: Hard to get out spark plugs

Definitely some penetrating oil. If that still doesn't work, you can use thermal differences to help. Get the engine hot, then use some compressed air to cool the plugs: invert the can and spray the liquid onto the plugs (the ceramic on the plugs will likely crack when doing this) to shrink the plug...

Re: Back to the Neon Coil mod (Again)

The absence or presence of resistors in the secondary (sparkplug) side of the coils won't make any difference in the current load on the CDI box, but what CAN make a difference is the coil resistance on the primary side. A coil with too low a primary impedance could overload the CDI. Wonder what's ...

All three of those run off the "Turn signal" fuse in the fuse box, so I suspect you've blown that fuse (or it has cracked/failed).

Re: Neutral light glowing

If the wire going from the neutral light to the neutral switch is shorted to ground, it will cause the neutral light to come on. Often this wire gets inadvertently pinched enough during reassembly of some component that it gets partially shorted, causing the light to come on. I've also seen where a ...
