The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Im trying to give you all the answers to your queations ..
When I get home I will pulla socket from the wall and take a reading. Then wil label wires from the stator A, B & C and try the test over ..
Again thank you
Click to expand...
Label the pairs 1...2...3...4...5 as the stators wiring harness has five wires.

Remember?

For example... A has two wires connected up to it. B has two wires connected up to it and C has only one. The two wires coming off A are electrically connected. (treated as a single wire) B....

YEP, and to see if it's jumping around.

Ok just tested plug outlet using both my multimeters . My cheep $20 meter gave me a reading of 118.8 . My good meter gave me a reading of 118.9 .
Taking battery off charger .. will be back soon
 
It seems complicated, but it's not. If you abandoned a yellow and a white/blue like I said it would be (any combination you start with) example: 1 White/Blue to Green/White, 2 Green/white to Yellow, 3 Yellow to white/Blue.

Thank you for your kind words ... now tell me please ??
Do any of those numbers tell you if the regulator or the rectifier are bad or good ?
Sure id like to replace with something like what you suggested . But if I dont have to replace them now . Id rather not !!
Its a money thing .. you know single dad raising 2 kids

When you came to the GSR, you have entered the intersanctum of cheaptom. So when we say change the R/R and get an SH-775 remember where it is coming from.

If your kids don't have enough to eat then get the bike running and sell it. Sorry for being so blunt, but that is basically it. There is not much choice about fixing it, there is only a choice about whether you can afford that.
 
You also know that life turns on a dime, so park it until you can afford a new stator and SH-775 and you will be able to do that. In the mean time you have plenty of time to do all the required maintenance. When the money comes it will be a pitzacake. :dancing:
 
Good used stator can be found as well as a good used reg-rec.

Just sayin'

I found the paper that came with that rectifier im using on my gs650gl
Its fom Ricks motorsport universal R/R for 3 phase permanent systems part #10-502
 
Now all you need to do is find a stator to fit.

I'll be installing one from a GS1100GK on mine.
