Hello to all. I'm a long time reader, new writer. I've benefited greatly from this site. I have an 82 CB650SC NH, 21,000 miles. I’ve owned it 3 years and have loved every mile of it.
Today’s question is starting when hot. The bike starts well when cold, however it barely starts when shut down for 2-3 minutes when hot. For example I recently drove about 30 miles Scituate to Plymouth MA. I stopped for about 2 minutes to get directions and the bike sounded like it would not start from a dead battery. It did, just. I rode another 5 miles and stopped for about 5 minutes. The bike would not turn over. I waited about 15 minutes and it started. This morning I got off the highway to buy gas, (2.2 gallons, got to love that). After filling the tank, same thing, it sounded like the battery was almost dead. However I know I can go out right now, (after sitting 4 hours) and it will start immediately. If it was the battery or charging system it wouldn’t get better if it sat would it? Any ideas? Second question: The battery is not quickly accessed, makes the above problem harder to access. Are there leads available I can wire to the battery so I don’t have to pull the seat to put it on a trickle charge? Right now I’m riding a couple times a week so it isn’t an issue but in the cold weather months, it can be. I want something I can get to but not have to worry about. What does everybody else do? Thanks in advance for the advice. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
