Permatex Ultra Slick

Engine is in! 22 hour wrench-a-thon this weekend. Fork seals were first. Then all the fun stuff to prepare for engine install. Engine slid in with 3 people working on it. Brake fluid changed, chain lubed, safety stuff done. Got some bugs to work out and get her dialed in, but all the hard stuff is done!! And I love her!!! First ride since I bought the bike and I am speechless with the power it has!

After working out a few bugs and syncing the carbs my battery was not charging. Pulled and tested r/r and ended up ordering and installing and SH775(Polaris model). Stator tested good. All is working great now and if the weather is good I plan to take an early morning ride tomorrow.

What is meant by "stator tested good" If your stator has dropped any from the specs, could be a sign its on its way out. When I installed my compufire, I went with a new stator anyways even though mine was testing good as well.

Oh, by the way, you have done an excellent job restoring your bike. Very nice indeed.

I went through the stator papers with a fine toothed comb and have read all I can regarding these issues....all tests were good as far as the stator is concerned. AC on all three legs were 78V at 5000pm. Resistance was .7 ohms. The tests on the r/r showed it was defective per test C on the papers. With the new r/r I am getting 14.8V at 5000 rpm.

When I got the bike it had a spun rod bearing....7000 miles on the odometer. The PO had already starting parting it out. The bike was missing 2 key items that I am sure he sold right before I got there.....the cdi and the r/r. Before I knew anything about GS's I purchased both of the missing items (used) from ebay. My guess is that the r/r was already toast when I got it.

I cleaned all the connections and went with a common ground to the frame per the advice from many posts on here.

Thanks Ed! I like to include photos. I read so many posts on here and am always curious of what the poster's "project" looks like.

That is a very nice TZ, you did great work on it.

It's a very under rated model both in terms of style and power.

It is a 48 Ford One of my many other projects. In the process of putting the hood back on it now. Bike has been sitting for awhile. Took it on the longest ride yet and it developed a tick that I cannot source. Ended up trailering it home. Does not tick on idle, but only under load. I checked suspects, valves, clutch, etc. I makes a clank right when I start it, so I am wondering if the starter clutch is messed up.
