Does the 16 valve 83 1100 have the same basic charging system as used on my gs850g from 81, or are they two totally different animals?

You have to check the manual, but my 81 GS750 has a single channel SCR SHUNT regulators while the 83 1100E has all three channels.
For most intents and purposes they are the same problem. -
Different size rotor and stator, possibly a different R/R, as posplayr mentioned, but yeah, same basic setup. Same basic problems.

The only components in the charging system for both bikes are the rotor/stator and regulator/rectifier. So, very simple.
The stator has to match up to the rotor on your engine. I believe there are not that many different stators used among the GS line.
The regulator/rectifier (R/R) are interchangeable between all GSes (and most bikes of the same vintage). But if you need a new one (which you do, if you still have the stock unit), then search the forum for information on buying a new Polaris R/R and installing it.Comment
