    I need help with some wiring.

    I need help on where to connect the wires. I just got a new stator and the wires are getting so hot they melted the plastic.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am a little wiring diagram deficient.

    Thank you!!!

    hooold it right there. ya don't want to fry that new stator. did you clean and/or replace all connections? did you run a ground wire from the reg/rec to the battery negative? did you read the stator papers and bass cliff's site? http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

      What kind of GS 2-stroke are you working on?

        By the way this for a 1980 GS750E.

        I did all of the above but am just confused on where to hook up the wires. I had replaced my stator before and I did fry it. Now I need to get it right this time. I have a new/used stator, new battery and a rectifier off of a GS500E


        Thank you for your replay,

          I did leave out some important details.

            Wire the stator straight into the R/R, bypassing the factory harness. Solder the connections or get some new spade terminals. R/R ground needs to go to a solid frame mounting point, not the battery box, or straight to the battery. For the + output from the R/R, go into the old fuse box connection or straight to the battery with a fuse in line. If you go through the fusebox be sure to check for voltage loss in that wiring route using the test method detailed in the Stator Papers.

            Good luck

              Thank you for the reply.

              How many stator wires connect to the rectifier?

              What do I do with the other two wires.

                Methinks, that you are skipping some reading.... Try again

                don't waste your stator by using that recycled r/r- get a series as above link stresses

                  I decided to tear it all down again and re-clean all connections. Also created a brass tubing heat sink to go under the rectifier as seen on one of the suggested postings. If I should replace my rectifier with a different one does anyone have a recommendation?

                  Thanks,

                        posplayr,

                        I looked the R/R PDF and that is some good information. However I cannot put that much money in to one right now. Is there any lower cost solutions that would be safe?

                        Thank you,

                          Or could I test the GS500E regulator to see if it produces the correct readings?

                            It's about $80 to get a proper R/R. If you can't afford it right now, feel free to put anything else that you want, but when (not "if") your charging system goes bad, you will have to change the stator AND the R/R, which will cost you at least double that, not to mention the inconvenience of trying to get the bike home from wherever it died.
