charging issue!

[mackdog2008]

Hey guys,
I have been working in my 81 Gs850G for a couple of months now and I am ready to hit the road tomorrow!! for the 1st time (other than around the block) anyway I checked my charging system a while back and it was reading 13v at idle (old battery) I now have a new battery and also have soldered the wires coming from the stator, today I checked and all I get is 12.3v and when I signal everything dims a little and when I rev it there is no change in the voltage reading, what did I do wrong?

There is something called the stator pages that you should check out.

Can you give me a link? I can't find the stator pages.

Look about half way down on this page: http://www.thegsresources.com/gs_garage.htm

You can find it from the main site page titled In the Garage.
