    Do the tests in The Stator Papers, then you will know.

    Do a search on this site to find them.

          Charging and stator?

          Hi 1982gs650ecafebuild

          You have come to the right place. There are tons of great articles here. Full color tear downs way better than Chiltons or Clymer. Have you picked up you repair manual yet?

          The starting point for charging is a know good and fully charged battery and to run through the "Stator Papers" which can be found at the link below.

          BassCliff also has owners manuals, service manuals, and great custom how to's. Check out his site below.
