    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...

    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.

GS1100esd Hot Starting Problem

Hello Fellow GS riders. I am in need of some help! My 83 GS 1100esd starts up just fine in the morning and when cold but almost everytime I pull into refueling, it struggles to start up. I changed the ground cable but it did not help. Any suggestions??:confused:
 
maybe your battery is week. it might be fine after having been stood but the engine may be making the starter hot and therefore the weak battery may not be able to deliver enough power.

may be other things that cause the engine to get hot which are making the problem worse
 
What colour are your plugs?? It may be running rich, which will give the symptoms you describe. How clean is your air filter etc?

GS1100esd Hot Starting Problem

Thanks guys! I will check the battery and the plugs tonight!
 
The starter motor may be bad. A lot of times when they get hot they won't work.
 
Ok! I did the stator test and it passed with no problems. The plugs were brown and not showing it to be running rich. Air filter was ok too! Checked out the battery, took a voltage reading after charging it for 3 days. The voltage was ok but when I took a battery load tester to my battery and it registered weak. Decided to first get a new maintenance free battery to see if this clears the problem. I bet that it is the problem!! Thanks for the helpful tips.
 
Thank you all for your helpful tips.
