    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. 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.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi there.
I've got a 1979 GS1000EN US import. As usual the charging system has fried all it's components:confused:
Mine has seperate Regulator and Rectifier units as you can see in the photo(This seems to be normal for early US bikes but not on UK spec models).
Is it ok to replace the pair of them with a combined R/R from Electrexworld?

Many thanks.
 
I've just ordered the parts from Electrex and they'll be with me tomorrow:)

I've checked the wiring diagrams and it looks straightforward to do. At the moment 2 of the 3 Generator wires split and one goes to the reg and the other to the rec. This confused me yesterday because I had 5 wires coming from the generator and I knew that the generator normally has only 3:-k
 
Woo Hoo. Just fitted new Electrex Generator coils and Reg/Rec and I've now got a fully functioning charging system again:D
I've converted to all in one Reg/Rec in place of the original 2 seperate components.
 
Thanks Psyguy. Got some other bits to do to it on Saturday then hopefully it'll be all systems go:D
