    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...

    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.

I have a 1983 GS750Es that has suddenly developed some electrical woes that I can't seem to figure out. It started when I got the bike out this spring and started it up. Seemed to run fine but noticed that the tach had stopped working. Then I noticed that none of the instrument lights were working and the gear indicator was out too. wtf?? I started checking everything and discovered that the horns weren't working, the fuse for the turn signals kept blowing and tailight and brake light was nfg too!!!!
I checked the charging system and found that it wasn't charging. Got out "the stator papers" and after troubleshooting it, found that a new stator and R/R were needed. Bought new ones, installed them, but discovered that I'm still not getting a charge circuit. At high rpm(no tach but engine is revving very high) multimetre is only reading 12.8 volts.......... Having no manual to verify this I'm thinking that I have a wire harness problem that has suddenly reared its ugly head! Can anyone tell me if there is a common ground that could be causing this assortment of problems?
Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:confused::confused::confused:
 
How long have you had the bike? How long have you been a member? Have you got a wiring diagram? Is this a test?

Hi Mr. dsskywalker,

Please go to my website and download a manual for your bike. It makes things so much easier. Check out the "mega-welcome" while your there.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I have had the bike for 5 years...........I 've been a member for a couple of years now. I don't post much but read alot. No, I don't have a wiring diagram.......As to your question whether this is a test.......not sure what that means..........
 
Disconnect the stator from the R/R and with the settings on A/C check all three legs of the stator while running over 3000 rpms. Alternate between all of them. Should get over 60 volts each.
Ground the new R/R to the frame and battery.
