Gs 1000g starter problems

[Craig54]

I have seen somewhere where you can wire the starter so there is no power going to the coils while turning the motor over until you hit a switch 'this is to make starting easier ".
Can anyone pont me in the right direction

It's mostly to prevent damage to starter clutches on high compression engines, look for Rapid Ray mod.

Here's a start for you:

You're more likely to need the coil relay mod.

The cut out mod is for highly modded motors

Are you having a problem, or just asking?

I saw the bit about the coil relay and will have a go at it,
I want to try the starter mod as well.

The only problem with the bike is the starting.
sometimes the lightest touch of the button and it bursts into life other times it just clacks and groans for about 3 or 4 times then all of a sudden the lightest tough of starter and its away.

Thanks

Sounds like maybe your problem is one or more of the connections around the starter button, the solenoid, battery, or a corroded or loose ground someplace.

Sounds like you're trying to swat a fly with a sledgehammer.

Starting issues that you describe are generally:

1. Corrosion as tkent says - take the connections apart and clean them - don't forget the starter button itself

2. The battery - I had the same probloem with my GS 1000 until I replaced my old battery with a fresh one. How old is your battery?

The battery is new.
I will have a go at cleaning all conections
