    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.

Hi guy's.
My GS650G has a strange habit,I go out riding for half an hour or so, stop the bike,try and start it within a couple of min's and the starter struggles to get half a revolution out of the motor, and then nothing.
Wait 5 min's and its fine and dandy.
what's going on?

Thank's
Paul
 
Check and make sure the carbs are not flooding the engine, CHeck the battery connections. Remove the starter and clean & lube the brgs & replace/check the brushes
 
actually that is very common, the engine is still hot and the starter will be hot also, the heat saps power from the starter.
you might check and clean the ground calbe connections at the battery and at the engine, cleaning the commutator ant brushes in the starter will help.
at it's age it would probably be better to rebuild the starter.
