john,
I appreciate you stepping up on this. As discussed that is a truly classy thing to do. I will contact you Tuesday to see where we stand on the replacement. I know all about the problems just compounding one after the other.
Steve, I can't thank you enough for coming over a helping decipher my issues. I will let you know as soon as john gets me an ETA on the REG/REC for planning. It was a pleasure to meet you, hopefully the next time I need help after this I will ride to you rather than you coming down ro visit me. I wish I had half the knowledge of these machines as you do, But hey I am learning, and I learned a lot today. :clap: :clap:

Starting issues.
Starting issues.
Have you discovered the problem yet. It seems to me that if you put a new, charged battery in and didn't get any response that it would be a problem with the starter motor or starter relay. The thread leaves some info out as it seems Steve is close enough to stop by and help troubleshoot. You may have already sorted this out. I just bought a used 1982 GS1100G and it was working fine. I was on my way to the safety inspection station and turned it off. It wouldn't start again. The + battery terminal was a bit corroded so I cleaned it off but it still wouldn't crank though the battery wires got very hot. Starter relay checks good so I'm thinking either the brushes are worn out or the armature is bad. Seems to be some oil around the starter motor so the seal might have leaked and let oil in the armature. Looking at $500 USD for a new starter. Anyway, if you haven't done it yet, check your starter circuit. Best of Luck to you.

Steve stopped by. It cranked over no issue with the new battery. The Stator is putting out at spec as it should. When Steve made it to the reg/rec check part failed the test. Now that i know what the issue was Jmaines has a new one on order for me (stand up guy). It should be here tomorrow and fix the charging problem. Then it is on to the next issue to fix.

Jmains dropped off to me a brand new Ricks Electric Reg/Rec today. Truly a stand up guy who went above and beyond to make sure I left the purchase with a smile.
Steve the electrical guru came over tonight and helped get the bike running and charging. After about 4 hours the bike was charging, new turns were working, voltmeter was hooked up and functioning as it should, front brake switch cleaned and working,wiring issues corrected here and there on the bike, and bike was reassembled back to a rideable state.
I can't say enough positive things about the work Steve put in for me. I owe this man huge for the work, knowledge, and help and friendship. Next trip I'll come up and check out you and your sons bike. I at least owe you lunch or dinner.:clap: :clap: :clap:
One to the next issue. Thanks to everyone for their help!
