    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.

Ahhh, I see your problem. :D

It's the gold wheels. :eek:

Nobody else has them, they must be the problem.

No, it's because it is an 82, not an 83. ;)
You aren't touching the wires with your fingers when you measure them, are you? IIRC your first numbers were O.K.
 
It's not the hot oil that melts the solder, it's the heat from the electricity going through the wires if there is ever a short somewhere down the line.

now that I think of it I was holding the leads onto the wires with my thumbs I think... hmm I'm sure it's fine since all the wires read the same resistance.. My meter is an AMPROBE, It's a commercial grade contractor meter so it's not junky.. maybe I did hold the wires.. I was a little distracted at that time LOL

And yes you are correct, it is an 82..
 
nice u got it sorted,VERY nice example of a GS1100.If your bike melts solder and goes into the engine,i would be more concerned it has blown a head gasket,melted pistons and dropped aluminum gobs on the ground lmao,just sayin.
 
I may be missing something here, but the solder joints I saw were not internal to the engine. They appeared to be outside the stator enclosure. Is this correct, evh?
And I am just razzing you on the year; I personally think that body style was the best GS ever built.

The stator I just measured was 1.9 Ω's. I think His measurement is faulty.

Yeah, but even 1.9 ohms is high- the good ones should measure about .9 ohms in this size stator- anything higher means more resistance (then heat, then bbq). Go to radio shack and get a resistor to test your meter

You are right, those wires were outside of the stator enclosure, in the small enclosure that leads to the starter cavity..

I agree with you on the body style :D that's why this guy owns one lol
