    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.

Does anyone know the number of ohms that the region should have between the whit/blue wire and yellow wire?
 
If you are measuring the inputs on the R/R, you can't simply measure resistance, you need to do a diode check.

You should also know that there are TWELVE measurements that you need to make to check all the diodes.
If any ONE of those measurements is wrong, change the R/R. A series-type R/R is highly recommended, the Polaris unit is the current favorite. Plenty of posts (many of them quite recent) on the topic, a quick search should yield a bunch of information.

It would also help if you gave us a clue what bike you are working on. Earlier bikes have separate R/ and /R, they are not all combined, and readings might be different.

I am working on a 77 GS750L, It has no spark While investigating that i found that the White/blue and Yelow wires touched on the combined RR and melted the tape the last owner used after just twisting the wires together, I assume the RR is toast and may have smoked the CDI box too. I just cant find out how to test all these items i need to test. People say that the 750 E is the same but all the diagrams show the wrong color wires. amd no one can lead me to tests for the CDI either

The 1977 GS750 didn't use a R/R nor a CDI. Your bike came with a separate regulator and regulator, and points.
 
The 1977 gs750 came with points ignition.... So yours has been upgraded to some kind of electronic ignition?

it also came stock with seperate regulator and rectifier... But you say it now has a combined r/r ? Any markings on either the ignition module or this r/r?
 
sorry i meant 1980, i was thinking about my yamaha xs500, so my gs is a 1980

The factory Suzuki service manual has info on how to test the ignitor and R/R. If you don't have a manual search out basscliff's website and download one. Unfortunately, these tests are not difinitive but they are a good place to start.

BTW, the charging system is separate from the ignition. Problems in these circuits typically don't cross over unless (maybe) an over charging system could possibly fry the ignitor.
