    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.

I have an 82 gs 850g. When I got it it had a charging problem so I got a used rectifier and when I hook the new one up to blows the main fuse as soon as you hook up power I'm sure it is junk and everything works and it runs great with the old one accept it doesn't charge so my ? is what do I need to do to get it to charge???
 
The current favorite to handle your current (sorry, I just had to do that) is the R/R from Polaris. If you do a search using "Polaris" as your criteria, you will see plenty of posts. If you do a search for "Polaris" with me as an author, you will even see a list of vendors and the prices at the time of the post.

Do you think it is just the rectifier or could it be the stator and what about replacement rectifiers made for the gs???

The R/R's that are OEM replacement are the same shunt type that cooks the stator and are built to the same sketchy quality levels as the original Suzuki R/R. If you want to fix your charging system for good pick up the Polaris R/R and install it. Better yet, install it and get one of posplayr's new solid state power boxes to replace the crappy fusebox at the same time.

If you're sure you've hooked the R/R up right and the fuse blows when you turn the key, then the only explanation is that the new R/R is junk.

Do what Steve says and get a Polaris R/R and have worry-free charging forever.

Well-seasoned, if you please, and I continue to work on the "old" part, day by day.
