    My bike has only one fuse. Maybe I'll just plug it in there . Just kinda paranoid since my tail lights are LED's if that matters. Maybe my tail lights may go out and I don't know it? And since the fuse powers everything electrical to my bike, it's always hot.

    Thanks for the help guys!

      You want it plugged into a switched source, not something that is hot when the ignition is off.

        Oh. My bad. Into the brake light it is then .

          Just make sure it's the side that feeds the brake light switch, not the side from the switch to the brake light.

            OK... Where's that? I hope I don't screw this up...

              The brake light switch has a plug with two wires running into it. One side will be hot with the ignition switch on and the brake not depressed, the other won't. You need a voltage tester or some kind of continuity tester to see which wire is which. Even a 12 volt bulb with a socket and pigtail will tell you. If you can isolate the tail light wire use it.

                OK! I will take a look tomorrow.

                  The R/R is all hooked up. Here's a video!
                  Here is my 1980 Suzuki GS450L.The weak point in our Suzuki GS motorcycles is the charging system. The R/R on my bike was not regulating so the voltage climbe...


                  I think my stator is undercharging... Opinions? At least the R/R is working great!

                    There are three wires coming from the stator, yellow, white/blue and green/white each one of these go directly into a yellow wire from the R/R.
                    There should not be two yellow wires from the stator unless a PO changed something.

                      That was my mistake. I was looking at the wrong wires. It's exactly as you described so I got it figured out.

                      Now I'm thinking my stator is undercharging? Or not? Can you guys watch the above video and let me know what you think? Thanks!

                        Looks fine to me FC.

                          Sounds like the exact same problem. If you are getting 13.2V at idle I doubt it is a bad stator. Measure your voltage drops.

                            Hi,

                            I see two issues. Since you've just replaced the r/r unit, it seems your stator is not putting out. And because the output is less as you rev up, there is probably corrosion (between the output of the r/r and the positive battery terminal) that needs to be cleaned from the connections in your charging system.


                            Thank you for your indulgence,

                              Whew! My stator is good. OK. I did replace the R/R connectors which were supplied with duaneage's R/R kit. I will check for any other dirty connectors and do more tests.

                                measure teh voltage drop fro mR/R(+) to battery (+) at 5000 RPM it can rise from maybe 0.1V up over 0.5V at 5K RPM. If it does you need to chase it down or wire the R/R directly to teh battery (using a 20 amp fuse)
