    GS 1150 CDI BOX PROBLEMS, I THINK ?

    Hello all,
    I've been having a problem with my 84' 1150. The bike starts and runs great for about 10-15 minutes then the CDI box becomes very hot and the bike starts to sputter until it finally stalls out. After about 10 - 20 minutes the bike will again start and run for another 10 -15 minutes before stalling out again.
    I have noticed during this period that my Tach does not work? I've check the lead into the CDI box and it is good.
    At this point I have replaced the CDI box and Rectifier with new parts and still have the problem. I have even gone as far as to replace all wires to and from the CDI box with new wires, still have the problem.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks
    Miller

    Is your rectifier grounded to the frame, preferably under a rubber bushing?

    Just a thought, don't know if it has any relevance.
    GS\'s since 1982: 55OMZ, 550ES, 750ET, (2) 1100ET\'s, 1100S, 1150ES. Current ride is an 83 Katana. Wifes bike is an 84 GS 1150ES

      Yes, the rectifier is indeed grounded to the frame.

        Checked the ground last night and it is good.
        One thing I noticed before all this started was that I was getting 15-16 volts charge across my battery, I thought that seemed a little high.

          Read the "stator papers"...your R/R is frying your battery or you may
          have it connected incorrectly R/R should be grounded to -neg. battery
