    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.

Hi everyone new member here just looking to see if you might know about my charging problem.
My bike is a 83gs1100ez with the battery light on.
I found the green w/white wire burnt and broken at the connection. The wires coming out of the r/r are brown(hot or burnt possibly) so I'm thinking just replace it. Any suggestions would be great.

Welcome to the Brotherhood. Whats the history on your Bike ?

Read all this....http://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...bie-Mistakes&highlight=top+10+newbie+mistakes

Then read all this...http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

1982 is a EZ. 1983 is a ED. The foot peg in your picture is a ED.

That green wire / red plug is a battery sensor. It goes in one of the battery cells or eliminate it and connect the wire to the "+" battery terminal and the indicator light should go out.

That sensor wire does not indicate a charging problem, it is there to show low electrolyte level.
Unfortunately, it only monitors one cell, so even that is of questionable value.

Your best bet in a battery is a sealed AGM-type, then connect that sensor wire to a SWITCHED power supply.

I recently purchased the bike from an old man who stopped riding it years ago due to a disability. It's a low mileage (15,001) fairly stock ujm... Just what I was looking for!. It was always serviced at a race shop in Southern California. It has a supertrap stainless steal "light" race full exhaust, and a dynojet kit w k/n filters. All parts even came with all original paperwork with parts numbers , and a real Suzuki maintenance manual in a real Suzuki binder...lol I thought it was pretty cool
So far I've painted a few parts bought a new chain, and will be getting tires and a r/r then some more stuff here and there...

Wow, amazing deal. Looks like a stainless steel Supertrapp header and Works shocks! Those two parts are easily worth more than what you paid for the whole bike.
 
Yeah it's stainless, I love the exhaust on this thing. It purrs at idle and wakes up anytime the throttles open. The jet kit is spot on too, not a hiccup or backfire all the way up to redline. Where would the previous owner find shocks like this?

Yeah, the wires coming out of the RR look really cooked, I would do some tests on the RR and stator or I would just upgrade the charging system and be done with it. Gonna have to redo some connections as well in the process.
