As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

im not having any charging issue yet on my 1100ed, iv read that the R/R is the cause of the baked stators, correct? iv also read that a honda rectifier will fit my bike with little mods. what model honda should i get a rectifier from? id like to replace this part before it costs me some cash in a new stator.

thanks.

hold yer fire! i did a search and didnt find the answer i was looking for. :lol:
 
I've heard/read more about the 3rd phase of the altornator frying stators because it's not R/R'd. But I've also learned (through the site) that later GS bikes (like mine) "rectified" the problem, if you will, and got 3rd phase back into the RR. Check your bike's wiring diagram to see what it looks like. Mine has a W/G wire going from the alternator while the others go to the RR. Then, about half-way up the bike, the W/G loops back into a W/R wire which goes straight to the RR. As is, it has about 4 connectors to go through, so I cut out the loop and connected W/G from the alternator directly to W/R going to the RR.

Haven't had a chance to see if it works since I have been rebuilding the front end since then, but I think it should all be fine.

On the Honda RRs, do a search under "Alternator questions" or "Stator" as there were some recent discussions that posted some of the Honda RRs that work.

Good luck
 
I have a CX500 R/R that I got last year to do this mod but then decided against it. I'll sell it to you for US$20+$5 shipping. ;)
 
I did the Honda reg/rec conversion years ago to my 750. It even bolts up to pre-threaded holes on the bottom of the battery box! :D
