    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.

GS650l charging problems (what's new)

I have a '81 GS650L. It has 9k miles and I've replaced the stator and r\r with new units. I've cleaned the light switch. I believe the regulator and rectifer are one unit on this bike.
I have cleaned most of the terminal connectors on the bike with no good results. I have a Kawasaki Concours and the battery that come with it are not reliable due to an internal problem with the plates breaking contact when warm.
When I recharge the battery it takes a long time (6 hours) to start holding a charge so mabe it's the battery that's the problem.
Sometime you can solve problems by just talking to the group. Any idea's? I'd be happy to hear them. What can I do besides sticking a peice TNT in the tank and send it to bike hell?
:lol:
 
Put a new battery in it first, then refer to the stator pages in the garage section
 
OK now, I am really in a slump about this bike. I have changed the battery and still no change. Some one mentioned that the light switch may be the hold up, any thoughts on this?

Any advice is good at this point. THANKS!!
 
get a good multimeter and start poking around in the stator papers, complete walk thru.
 
Have you done any electrical checks of the cahrging system? Taken any voltage measurents?
