I was having intermittent gear indicator issues so
I found the loose gear indicator coupling, tested & cleaned the pins and all is well with that.
The Gear Indicator is a LED not a bulb. (My local dealer swore to me it was a bulb
)
I looked over the wiring and found this mess inside the rubber weather protector boot.
I peeled a bit of plastic off the white/green wire, it did not burn off as pictured.
The bike still runs, all lights work.
My questions are;
What is the likely culprit of this condition?
Is this something to be alarmed about or is it somewhat common?
Could this have just been the result of running high RPMs a long time
(like 34 years) ?
Should I replace the connections and proceed to the stator papers and do the recommended tests? Or get a new R/R unit first?
If someone can inform me of a replacement R/R unit they're using successfully and the best place to purchase it, I would be greatly appreciative.
(I'm having search overload right now.) TMI
I have regulator and rectifier replacements (stock), can I use these stock replacements with new spade connectors or should I just upgrade to a more reliable unit?
On my 1978 GS750E (12K Miles)
There is only 1 main 15A fuse and it has not blown.
The Regulator and Rectifier are separate units.
Suzuki GS750 Stanley DE3802 15V Rectifier only (Pictured L)
Suzuki GS750/1000 NipponDenso 137600-0011 12V Regulator only (R - Mounted under Batt Box)
Will the older Stanley 15V work on my bike?
A newer unit replaces both. Correct?
If everything is working fine and I have replacements, I would like to save the $130. the MOSFET FH020AA costs until I really need it.
The battery is new as of last summer and measures 12.60 after a year in service.
