    Regulator/Rectifier

    I know that the R/R on GS750s had problems, but does the R/R on the '79 GS1000L have the same trouble? If so, I'm definitely going to the Electrex solution. Probably a Dyna S and the Dyna coils, too. Which Dyna coils go with the Dyna S, the 3 ohm or the 5 ohm?

    You don't have to go swapping out the reg/rec if it's working ok. Run a heavy earth (ground) from the (-) battery terminal to one of the bolts on the reg/rec.

      The problem is much deeper than that, don't know how much you want to know, but the reputation with Suzuki charging systems is pretty much across the entire line. Usually the r/r fails due to shorts somewhere else in the system.

      GS's use 3 ohm coils stock.

        Thanks, guys. I had an Electrex R/R on my GS750 and had no problems in 43,000 miles. The Stator and Rotor seemed robust enough. I guess I'll try the heavy duty jumper and see what happens. The bike only has 7800 miles on it and has always been garaged so I don't think it's going to be too worn out.

          My R/R are seperate. Can you replace both with a single unit? It's for my '79 gs1000.

            Yes. Aftermarket R/R's made for your bike are a single combined unit.

              Yes the one I used to replace the R/R on mine was a single piece.

              IT WAS SIMPLE TO DO THIS...

              I posted the entire thing back 6 months ago.

              Here is my experience w/ the swap of the old REG REC with the 1 piece ELECTRIX ..
