Just purchased a 1985 gl1200 and I am having the same starting problem. I am wondering if it was ever resolved.
The person I purchased it from just put a new starter on it and it goes great except when hot. I can wait about 45 min to an hour and it starts right up. Now i did make the mistake of jumping it off with a regular car (I was stranded in a parking lot) but have seen on ill effects from this so far. now in the parking lot the motor would bearly turn over maybe twice then totaly dead when jumper cables applied it started right up. could this be a charging issue where the battery is charging but not completely just enogh to get by and when a load is put on it like starting a warm engine it is just enough to keep it from working?
I hope someone has an answer because I love my new (to me) wing and would hate to be stranded again.
