    1984 Interstate Gl1200 won't restart without delaying 30 min

    Ok since I replaced the starter a year ago I would say everyone is right bout the battery. Since wally world batteries aren't that great. Has anyone tried the new lithium ion batteries yet? They should be tougher then the older ones or there is AGM also.

    I am trying to work through the problems. Now I have a situation where if I go somewhere and then the bike off. It will attempt to turn over but will only turn a small amount. If I wait 30 minutes or more then it will suddenly turn over no problem. Is this a battery or starter problem? I...

    1984 1200 int knowledge challenge. What is a spark relay???

    Under the coils is this strange box with many wires. I couldn't find much reference to it. What is it and its purpose.

    Well thanks for all the help.. I finally fixed the problem. I cleaned all the connectors I could locate. And I think the pulse generator connector was not making good enough contact. It went on way too easy so I took it apart and squeezed all the connectors real tight and cleaned the hell out...

    What is that relay to the right of the ICU which supposedly the main relay? My fuel pump is not operational because of no spark condition but I read negative 12 volts on both wires. Is that normal?

    Thank you, I have been cleaning all the connectors I could. Alot of them were crusty. Coils words ignition switch kill switch pulse generators all checked out. I had the same problem right from the start it didn't like being wet. It never did run on all four cylinders only the right side and...

    Thank you thank you. I don't have any manuals and rely on the web. Some crazy thread said 530 ohms. I was having a freak out moment because they stuck them on the back. I would like to go to Japan and find the engineer who did that and put his pulse generators on the rear and see how if he...

    Ok, update on no spark problem. With the test light I got hot 12 v on every wire except the brown one which I don't know what that one is? On the module on the right plug with less wires I get hot on every one except the green wire. The left larger plug I get only a dim light off the blue...

    Ok small update on the mystery. I checked kill switch it was fine. I checked key switch plug which very corroded but still no luck. The drains were clear and I switched spark plugs. Anybody know how I can tell if the ignition unit is getting power? I am starting to wonder if that is the...
