Need help 1981 GS550L

[Guest]

I bought this bike new in 1981 and my wife rides it now my problem is it will start right up and runs well but sometimes when we go for a ride we might stop 2 or 3 times and every now and then it wont start it rolls over fast just wont start but it will bump start in just a short distance and then the next time we stop it pops right off if anyone has a idea it would be greatly appreciated this bike now has 32,000 miles on it and the only thing i ever put on it was a stator. By the wat my new bike is a 1982 GS1100GK2 with 16,000 miles love those classics.

Welcome to the site. I highly recommend you run through the stator papers on the GS Resources main site under the Garage section.

Also, here's a link to a ton of great information compiled by our own Basscliff who is out on vacation time observing Lent. Read thoroughly and enjoy (http://members.dslextreme.com/users/Bikecliff)
