    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.

GS450A stalls at long traffic lights

so i have a stock 83 GS450A, no modifications whatsoever.

New boot orings. Fresh sync. Fresh carb rebuild. set float height. new air box boot clamps. new plugs.

If i catch a long traffic light the bike will sputter and stall, BUT fire right back up like nothing happened. Crusing the bike acts normal, throttle response is great, warms up in 30-60 seconds with the choke on.

IM stumped.

any ideas?
 
Hi,

What is the plug color at idle? Let the bike idle for a while. Then turn it off, pull the plugs, and check the color.

Is the automatic clutch dragging too much? Is there an adjustment? Sorry, I don't know much about the 450GA specifics.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Gas cap vent?

Heat from the engine is cutting off the coils or plug caps?

I think a quick charging system check would help.
Maybe there's a short somewhere
 
bike only has 2000 miles on it... sat in a heated garage for 28 years.

As far as i know,(im not the primary rider) its only when its "in gear" would that be considered an oil issue? maybe too thick of an oil? im running Rotella synthetic 10w40 as per manual spec.
