    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.

First off, let me say thanx to all for your support during my brain cancer recovery - it was wonderful and won't be forgotten.

Second, I am having an odd problem with the bike, a 1982 GS650L, essentially stock motor, normal airbox and filter. Cold, it starts right up. But once warm, the starter turns over very slowly if at all!

Once pushed to start, it runs very well. And it's not the relay mod, since it was doing that before and I though maybe insufficient coil power might be the problem. It wasn't - same as before except it does run better overall now with the relay mod done!

So before I try to sort this out, any ideas?
 
For those of us who don't know you, what's new on the bike and what's old? My first thought is heat warping of old intake boots and o-rings, or something along those lines. But I don't know if yours are old. Or the plug caps, or the carb internals, etc.
 
Starter motor turning very slowly when warm sounds like either poor starter connections, brushes or the starter's stator or armature are damaged (electrical side of things)or, the bearings on your starter need replacing, binding when hot. All these problems can happen from repeated bouts of cranking and getting the starter hot trying to start the bike.

He's got an electrical/starter problem.

Mine's edging towards the same thing, think it's time to get one rebuilt!
