    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.

Gr650 starter help, bad continuity in armature

Got an 83 gr650 tempter and about a week later and a few rides it suddenly wouldn't kill to the switch or key. It just kept trying to turn over, I let it start to take the strain off, I thought it was the button gummed up. Stopped and was fine a couple days.

Now the issue - sprag clutch wasn't engaging the flywheel so I pulled the cover, all good, back together. Rebuilt starter to see if it wasn't spinning fast enough to make enough centrifical force to engage the sprag. The armature is testing 5-7 ohms in lost continuity so it's no good and yay they don't make these easy to get. Is the gs550 starter usable, what about another armature they don't look like something I can rebuild? Any help will be praised, the sun is out, I need to ride.
 
So are you saying that even with key switch "off "and run/kill switch "off" , the starter motor kept spinning? Make sure that starter solenoid wiring is correct, cuz it sounds like once it's energized, it locks "on". If the starter actually spun motor ok, your armature ohm readings don't make sense.
