Anyone had this??
The GS won't turn over freely on cold start. Is almost as if the battery is dying, but the battery is new and fully charged. Once started, the bike will run well and re-start fine.
It bumps starts ok and runs ok.
Anyone else had anything similar???

Had a similar thing on the cb, the culprit was a fried reg/rec over charging the battery. The voltage across the battery was fine when the bike wasn't on, seemed perfectly healthy but it was slowly burning outOriginally Posted by Jon_W

Have changed the Reg/rect. No difference.

Valve clearances all good i presume?

Does it make an attempt to turn over or just do nothing?!

It turns over very slowly.

Could be carbon brushes in the starter motor i suppose, like a washing machine they go with time. Easier to get a secondhand motor off Ebay than replace them.

Does the gs have a bendix drive? The one on my RS was a constant cause of starting issues

No, uses a sprag clutch.

mine had this a while back......it was fuel, as it was on a paddock stand the fuel had moved away from the pump, took a fair bit of shaking the tank to sort back to the pump. Fuel filter ok?
