    New to the forum

    Hi all have been reading and gathering information from here for a while so thought it was about time I joined. I'm no mechanic but always learning, my GS1000 2015-03-23 14.37.36-resized-640.jpg So far shes had a top end rebuild, clutch basket rebuild, carb strip down and rebuild, dyna coils and dyna s ignition, loads of new shiny bits, marshall 4:1, hagon progressive fork sprimgs, new rear shocks, fork brace, new motabatt battery, and a respray. She will never be totally stock as I like the look of how they were modded in the 70's.

    Most of what I have done has been learnt by research and the Gsresources is no1.at the moment shes running a little rich and I think I will need to replace the stator as I'm only getting 12.7v at any rpm so thats probably next. Oh and I'm i the UK Suffolk.

    Hi ya, McSure.
    Nice intro. Sounds like you have got everything mechanical covered.
    I guess all that is left is ride reports.

        McSure,

        Welcome to GSR.

        Nice custom paint job. You say you like the style of the 70s, and that custome paint job does have some of the "skunk" in it.

        Before spending money to replace the stator, I would suggest doing some further troubleshooting.
        Could just be a bad connection somewhere, and still have same problem after replacing the stator.
        (can discuss in further detail, maybe better to post speciffically that in 'electrical'.)

        Thanks for introducing yourself and thanks for posting picture.
