    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.

Stator question

I'm not having luck with the search for some reason, too many posts to wade through. Does anyone make a stator for my '79 550 that pumps out more juice than the stocker? I'm running more lights than stock and could use a little more "oomph". Already running a mosfet (sp?) r/r. If not then I'll just swap as much as I can over to LED's so my running lights don't overwhelm the system. Thanks :cool:
 
Hi,

If you are running a 12-pole stator you can upgrade to the later 18-pole stator to get a little more juice. You will also have to install a rotor from a later model so that the number of magnets match the stator. There were 4 magnets used in the rotor for the 12-pole stator and 6 magnets for the 18-pole stator.

I've also seen a picture of a car alternator on a GS850, mounted externally and using a fan belt from a pulley mounted to ignition side of the crank. But it was ugly with a capital UG! ;)

Thank you for your indulgence,

Ah, that sounds interesting. Direct swap then, no tomfoolery to be dealt with?
 
Hi,

It might take some effort to get the rotor off, maybe an impact driver. You'll want to use some Lock-tite when you put the new rotor back on.


Thank you for your indulgence,
