    82 650gl battery and electrical problems

    i recently replaced the battery on my 82 650 and it fired up no problem for several days afterward. now, i have to jump the bike or push start to get it started, and once its started and runs for a bit it will fire back up immediately after turning it off, but if it sits for a couple of minutes it turns over very weakly and will not start. I'm not sure if these bikes will run off the charging system, but i tried disconnecting the battery to test it, and it died. It seems to me that there is a slow drain on the battery but i'm not sure how to go about troubleshooting the problem. some other funny electrical things iv noticed that it does are at low rpm the horn is weak and sickly sounding, and recently the turn signals will come on but not blink at lower rpms... any advice is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    Stator papers my friend. Probably a bad stator or Regulator/Rectifier. But all is not lost...easy fix...probably the easiest fix. To diagnose all you need is multi=meter and some paticence...
