    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.

I apologize now there is probably an answer for my question somewhere in the forum. But I just got an 83 gs650 shaft drive and I've driven it for a 100km and it ran great. I get on it today I put the choke on to start it let it idle for a bit and turn off the choke and take off. I go about 30 feet then it bogs and stalls, I go to try to start it and won't start.
I push it home and check the plugs and wires, everything looks good. Then I tried to start it, and it started up like nothing ever happened, so I go for a ride and with in two minutes it acts up again and stalls but this time I was at a bottom of a hill and it won't catch. So I push it up the hill too try to jump start it and it worked and drove fine for another couple of minutes. Tried to get it going but killed the battery and tried to push start but that didn't work either.
So tomorrow I'm going to try to get it going but I need some directions please
 
What you need to do is simple. Do the thirty years of neglected maintenance that your 650 needs... Then ride the heck out of it.
 
Thanks I'll do that, but I still need some ideas where to start
 
Big Daddy. Read the information on that site - the Read Me section contains all the information you need to know about what items need to be addressed to get your bike running right.

Hi,

Mr. Big Daddy received his "mega-welcome" in his petcock thread. Perhaps he hasn't had a chance to click on the links and read all the collected wisdom of this fine community.

Mr. Big Daddy, you'll find maintenance task lists, tutorials, manuals, wiring diagrams, just about everything you need to get your bike in tip-top shape. Just follow the instructions in your "mega-welcome" and read through all the related tutorials. Most of your questions will be answered.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
