GS1100 Electrical...

I'm wondering if Suzuki changed something in '82. While looking to see what stators will interchange with an '84 1100, I noticed that only '82 and '83 stators are listed as such. Then I looked to see which r/r will interchange, and again only those '82 and up......

Did they change something in '82 for the electrics on the 1100's ?
 
Are you talking about the shafties or chain drive bikes?

There were some small electrical improvements in most 82+ GS models -- for example, more reliable spade terminals on the R/R. Most models also went to an all-electronic ignition (as opposed to an electronic ignition with a mechanical advance) in 82, and I think the rest in 83.

Also, are you comparing stators that will fit dimensionally (as on Electrosport's listings http://www.electrosport.com/street/street-model-products-listing-street_60250.php ) or Suzuki part numbers?

As far as the regulator/rectifiers, they pretty much all work the same electrically -- it's just that the connectors are different.

Shafties...like, GK shafties. I'm looking at part numbers from Alphasports and cross referencing them to Babbitt's:)

In that case, you might be better off with the list at Electrosport.

If you click the stator part number at Alpha-Sport, you'll see that it has been superceded by a part number that's listed at Electrosport.
