    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.

Hi All,

Have An 82 Gs850g That Runs Well And Does Everything Else Well Except.....\

Theres Always An Except Or A But...

What Happens Is This ; If By Slim Chance The Bike Starts When Its Been Sitting For A Day Or So After Running For A While If I Park It Will Refuse To Stat Or Crank.

I Thought It Was A Charging Problem But The Battery Seems To Be Charged When This Happens.

Any Ideas Will Be Appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Fred
 
You checked the battery and it still has a good charge? Are the terminals clean? Sounds to me like a crappy battery or bad terminals.
 
How do you know that the battery is fully charged? Whats steps have you done to check the state of the battery? Knowing that would help.

marvinsc, is that you? :-D

Check your battery, both in the "at rest" state and at 3000rpm. Make sure you have clean battery terminals. Connect a dedicated ground wire between your regulator/rectifier and the (-) side of the battery. Don't rely on a frame ground. Lots of good information in the stator papers resource.

Might just be bad connections on the starter or the gunked-up starter itself may need cleaning.

Thank you for your indulgence,

I had this problem and it turned out to be a dirty kill switch.
Also bypass the clutch safety switch.
When the no start issue arises jump the starter solenoid and see what happens.
