    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.

Hello all. My first post here...great site BTW.

I just picked up an 85 GS700 with the infamous charging problem. The stator is shorted and the RR is fried. I ordered an electrex RR but I wanted to learn how to rewire the stator myself.

Does anyone know a good mail order source for the magnet wire that can take the oil and temps?

I found this wire at mouser: http://www.mouser.com/catalog/618/588.pdf
Will it handle hot oil?

Look for an electric motor rebuilder in your area. CHeck the stator pages for info on rewinding

Thanks. I've read all the stator pages. They mention wire for $5 a pound. The wire at Allied is about $25 a pound so I figure I must be missing something. It does look like good wire though. I suppose the big price difference is because the local guys buy the big spools. (??)

I'm on a somewhat isolated peninsula and the closest motor shop is going to be 100 miles away over a $20 bridge so that's the reason for going mail order.
