    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.

Sorry Onyx, I was just rippin'. You don't sound very dedicated in your other thread.
If you can read, and have a few tools.(and know what they're for) The guy here can help you fix ANYTHING wrong with that bike.

Don't give up on her. Fix it right, make sure it's tight, and ride, ride, ride.

Cooking with electrons

Hi Mr. DarkOnyx,

I just wanted to remind you that there is a manual, a wiring diagram, and guides on subjects like stators and regulator/rectifiers on my little BikeCliff website. Check the More Info/Tips/Odds and Ends link and look in the Electrical Odds and Ends page for more information, including how to refresh your wiring harness (Thank you Mr. Matchless!). It might be a good idea to go through the Stator Papers if your charging system is acting up. Keep us informed.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Just a note from a comment of a few days ago,

There was a shorted battery ground wire.

One thing to keep in mind, If a ground is shorted out. It is a better ground.

What you had was a bad ground. With a bad ground the resistance rises and generates allot of heat. Therefore the insulation is damaged due to high resistance and not due to a short.
This high resistance in the battery ground wire will also blind the regulator from the battery making the charging system work very hard to get power to the battery. Guess what happens then. More smoke is let out.
Most of the time these charging systems do not fail without a reason, they get killed because of an issue somewhere else in the system.
Anyone who looses a stator or regulator needs to go through the rest of the system and find the cause of the failure.
