    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.

I have a 1982 GS750e, and Im trying to fix it up. The problem I am having is that when I push the start button, nothing happens. I have tried everything I can think of, but no luck. I can stick a screwdriver to the relay and start it that way, or I can push and drop it in first gear to start it, but the start button doesnt work. Could this be a problem with the button, or possibly the relay itself? I know you dont have much to go by, but any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You'll need to verify each part of the circuit with a multi-meter and you'll need to test your starter solenoid. These processes have been described in detail in multiple posts on this forum - use the search feature.
 
Don't forget about the clutch saftey switch. Mine was bad, and prevented the bike stater button from working. I ended up bypassing it.

how did you do that/where is that? I've been holding the clutch in, but if the mech is shot, how do I bypass it?
 
underneath the clutch lever there is a little switch. Should be a couple of yellow/green wires coming out of it. I followed them to behind the headlight, and just plugged them together to bypass the clutch switch. Makes it a lot easier when tying to troubleshoot starting problems.
