    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'm due for a new charging system on my 1982 GS1100GZ (#3 in 50,000km)and wondered if any body had an opinion or first hand knowledge on differences between the products from the 2 manufacturers listed above. I read in the "stator papers" the electrosport regulates all three phases does the RM version do the same thing? thanks for your help
 
Both are Chinese made and very similar, if not identical. I believe Rick's makes a superior product and it's made in North America.
 
I've had good luck with RM, as well as Rick's stators. I believe that RM is actually the Canadian distributor of the Electrosport stators. The packaging and appearance of the products certainly lends one to believe that to be the case, anyway.

If you go with an RM/Rick's, you'll note that the voltage coming out across all phases will be a bit lower (about 62 volts) than stock (around 75 volts). No worries though. Works great.

Electrosports I've bought/worked with don't come with the rubber plug for the cover. Ricks do. That alone is worth any extra cost (if any) and the reason I would buy from ricks. Trying to change over that plug is a PITA.
 
Hi,

I've used all three; RM, Electrosport, and Rick's. RM and Electrosport seem to be very similar, if not exactly the same. Rick's is my favorite and the one I recommend. The rubber grommet is included, the wires are long enough, and the sheathing is the nice braided type, not cheap rubber (like the others) that gets brittle.

Rick's part may be $20 more but is well worth it. The Rick's part has outlasted the other two stators combined. Be sure ALL your electrical system connections are clean.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
