That's great; now consider getting an onboard voltmeter so you can admire it as you ride!

That is a good idea....thanks Tom!

Umm, what about your stator? Did you test it? If your bike died while working on the carbs, screams stator is dead as well. Usually when we install a new series R/R we include a new stator to start things fresh.

We do ?? not me, I threw on the SH-775 and called it done!

I posted this on another thread I have:

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.
