    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    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.

Hey all,
I was a member here a few years back when I bought my 1980 850 gl. After throwing a new stator into it and getting it running I rode it from Denver Colorado to San Diego California and back.

Almost immediately after that trip, I had a kid, then another, and the gs has just sat for a couple years.....

I've been recently getting the itch to ride again and I think I'm going to finally make the time to fix the old girl up. I apologize in advance for all my soon to come noob questions!
 
Welcome back. Hey, we have the same bike!

You say you were a member here before, but if the mega-welcome is new to you, then be sure to click on it. Suzuki service manuals, tutorials, and a whole lot more are yours with just a few clicks. See the link in in my signature below.
 
Tried to start the bike today, in order to roll it into the garage (up a long, steep hill) with no luck. She won't even turn.

Guess it's time to learn about the electrical system
 
What are your battery's voltage readings when the key is off, on, and while pushing the start button?
