    what did you wrench on today??

    Rebuilt the rear brake master cylinder on my 83 GS1100G. The repair kit from K&L Supply was a perfect match for the original parts. Kit # MSR-301 Looks like their SKU # is 232-1097. Got my rear brakes back...might need them.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Many thanks to all have responded to my post by sharing your experience and thoughts. The borrowed multimeter confirmed your suspension that the fluctuating voltages were a result of a bad multimeter, Klein MM100. I followed all of your recommendations for checking and cleaning ground...

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Salty_monk, you had an 82 GS1100G. Where on the frame did you locate the SPG on that bike?

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Going to borrow a multimeter from a friend to verify mine. Then follow all of your instructions for checking the fuses and ground wires. Will investigate the SPG further. I?ve read many posts on this site about an SPG but couldn?t find a post that instructs/ suggests where to locate the SPG. I?m...

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Bought terminal nuts and installed one on a plug. Couldn?t get the spark plug boot on the terminal nut. Guess the plug wires weren?t meant for terminal nuts. Also learned that the major auto parts store don?t loan multimeters...but they are more than willing to sell a cheap Chinese one for 30 bucks.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    What location on the frame is the best spot for the ground wire? When I verify if my meter is good or bad, I will definitely do your suggestions. As you can guess, I?m not electrically knowledgeable. I?m learning the hard way though. Sharing your knowledge and experience is greatly appreciated.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Tom, thanks for sharing. When I go to the auto parts store to borrow a multimeter, I?m will definitely buy terminal nuts for the plugs. I?ll test the voltage before the nuts installed and after the nuts installed. I have all my fingers crossed.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    I disconnected the input and output connectors to the SH775. Still had voltage fluctuating readings on the battery with the engine running. Going to borrow a multimeter and test again tomorrow to eliminate faulty multimeter readings. On the bright side the bike starts up quickly like it never...

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    I?ll disconnect the SH775 wires this afternoon and start the bike. I?ll report the voltage results. My previous post indicated that I attached the ground to the engine block (my ignorance of terminology). I grounded the SH775 to the back of the crankcase next to the ground point of the battery.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Thank you Redman so much for the reply and fixing my original post format. The multimeter doesn?t fluctuate when obtaining readings with the bike off. To disconnect the SH775, would I just disconnect the red output wire from the SH775 only? Or do I disconnect the input stator wires too?

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    Sorry about the text. Didn?t know there was an issue with the format. I haven?t posted on the site in 6-7 years. I?ll check my multi-meter before I try anything else.

    Fluctuating Voltage Readings at the Battery

    I have a 83 GS1100G. When I put a voltmeter on the battery posts when the bike is running, I get voltage readings that jump all over. Within 5 seconds, the readings jump from 14.3, 7.5, 12.6, 14.7, 2.8, 13.2, .... on and on. I’ve been reading the forum for weeks trying to figure this out. The...
