    HELP starter/electrical problems

    hi have a 1980 gs250t i am working on, almost mint, been sittin for a few years, only 3 k miles, having a problem, when cold it starts fine but when warm starter relay either clicks or starter turns slowly as if battery were dying, i have switched out both the solenoid and starter with known good ones from a friends working bike, checked and cleaned most connections and have used many batterys to test even bought a new one, i have read many threads with this being a normal problem with alot of gs models but have yet to find an answer,i fixed this problem a year ago with a different gs250t doing the exact same thing but cant remember what we exactly did to fix it, runs awsome but acts as if battery were dying when warm trying to start, and the correct voltage is being supplied to both starter and the relay, any help would be great thanks

    New ground from the starter relay to the main Engine ground with a 18 to 16 gauge wire. Or at least check to see that your ground is good. Don't know if this is the thing but might help?
