My question is can i throw out the stock regulator and rectifier thing and use one from an 1985 yamaha three wheeler?? The three wheeler had no battery it was kick start, but yet the motor was able to run the coil and lights with no battery when it was running. If our bikes werent electric start could they do the same? One time my bike wouldnt rev up as if it had a rev limiter ...i looked and i forgot to connect the + back on the battery, seemed like the charging wire couldnt even supply the coils alone after a certain R.P.M.. .How come they have such poor charging systems? Im hoping if i use the parts from the three wheeler the gs will charge better. What do you think about this?

I got a honda regulator for 7 dollars shipped on ebay. Don't waste your time with that, Honda regulators are cheap and easy to find and there is enough info on this forum to replace it easy enough.1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely -
So what you saying is that the reason for it is the regulator? The three wheeler had a regulator on it also....whats the difference?Comment

the yamaha three wheeler has a magneto ignition and lighting coils for powering the light, it will not work.
the GS has battery powered ignition and battery powered lighting, totaly differant system.
on some ATV's they have a lighting coil that will make enough power to power the light fully at low RPM (often they don't rectify the power and just used the AC output of the lighting coil) they have a small simple regulator that shunts excess power to ground as the rpm comes up, it wont charge a battery as it was not designed to.Comment
