    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.

I have a 82 GS650E that the starter turns over fine cold but when it warms up it will crank very slow if at all. I searched the forum and found somethings to check. I have a Nipendenso 2 brush starter. The service manual says the service limit for brush length is 6mm I have 10mm. I took the starter to a local starter/alternator shop and they said the bushings were worn, so I had them replace them and it is doing the same thing. Any ideas what to do next? This forum has been alot of help in the past, thank you all.

"if at all" as in barely cranking? I'd start looking on ebay (or local )for good used one. Your starter motor is different from 650 shafties, but used on 550's and others so should be easy to find.
Sounds like a partial open circuit winding when hot- seems strange, you could dig into it, but you could probably get replacement for $30.
 
Update:
I picked up a starter on e-bay, under $25 including shipping, installed it yesterday. Today the rain stopped, took it for a 45 min ride got it nice and hot and when I got home it restarted like it should.
This forum got me on the road again.
Thank you all.

Hooray! please mark your old starter as NG, maybe cannibalize for parts -brushes/plate- and junk for copper!
