    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...

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.

Charging Help?!? GS650

I don't think the bike is charging correctly. I've done BassCliff stator pages, Ohmed the stator out my readings were .8ohms on all three legs. I ohmed out the 3 legs to ground, they were O.L. and I tested the AC voltage at 4k, which was a fluctuating around 65ACVOLTS. Now, I have the R/R grounded to the frame, then a wire going from the same spot on the Frame to the Negative post on the Battery. At Idle charging voltage is 12.3, at 4k its 12.8. Should I just go ahead and replace the stator and voltage regulator? I just inquired this bike about a month ago from a kid that tore it all apart. I bought the bike in boxes. Help would be greatly appreciated.
 
The standard, no-load output for the 650 stator is 80 VAC, so it seem like it isn't up to snuff...as to why, it could be the R/R went belly up first.

You'll probably see if the stator is really toast when you open the cover.

I'm sure there are other things you could check, but I think it's safe to think that you'll end up replacing both.
 
65 VAC is low. I'd get a new stator and a SH775 R/R. Also rewire the charging system to eliminate voltage loss. There are at least 10,000 posts in the archives talking about charging system problems, including how to find a SH775 for cheap and how to rewire the system.

Good luck
