    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.

Just replaced my '83 GS1100G stator at $107 because I had readings of 8v,9v,and 14v off the 3 stator wire pairings. Got new one installed and now get even 56v on all 3 pairings(even though stator papers say at least 60v) at 4k rpm. Connect stator wires and rev but still only 12.5v at battery posts and headlight dims some when revving engine- doesn't do this with 3 yellow stator wires disconnected. Before I replace the R/R at $90 I tried following the stator papers for testing but can't follow what they're saying on which wires to test. I disconnect the 5 wire connector from the R/R and mine has black/red stripe, black/white stripe, 3 solid black?? Any thoughts?
thanks
 
It has to be your r/r if you are getting >60 volts AV from your stator, so just replace it. Even sometimes they will meter out fine, but be faulty.
 
Just guessing here, as I have never heard of that color combination.

The black/red would be positive output,
black/white negative output,
3 solid black, AC inputs from stator.

Yes, there are a total of 12 measurements necessary to check the rectifier part of the device. If any one of them is wrong, the whole r/r is toast. However, even if all 12 are good, the regulator might be bad. Again, the r/r is toast. Replace it, but you don't have to spend $90 to do it.
