    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.

Have best friend who has a 84 Honda Rebel, and the bike always starts when it is cold and hasn't been ridden. But once he drives very far at all he can't shut it off because it won't start. If he lets it sit for about a half hour it will start. The starter will spin but not start the bike. Has relaced the starter with a good used one and no change. I was thinking starter clutch, any ideas? terrylee:confused:

Does this mean you can hear the starter spin but the crankshaft does not rotate?
 
Yes it turns over, but just seems to spin as though something is not engaging to the starter. That's why I was thinking starter clutch. Again let it cool down for about a half an hour and it will start right up with no different or strange noises. terrylee
 
If the crankshaft is not rotating (a.k.a. turning over) I would look at the starter clutch.
