    Test your stator

    Hello friends,

    I've added a pictorial guide to my little BikeCliff website to supplement The Stator Papers fault finding chart. Check out the Stator Test page and let me know if there's anything I need to edit.

    Thank you for your indulgence,

    BassCliff

    Just a quick glance through it, but the only glaring mistake was the meter display on the last picture. 8-[

      i always thought that OL on a multi-meter meant "overload" may be wrong though.

        I knew you'd notice that Mr. Steve. I actually took that picture when I was measuring the resistance between the legs. I couldn't take a picture, work the throttle, and hold the leads all at the same time. 8-[

        If you look closely at the meter, it's set for ohms and not AC voltage, but we're measuring the same wires, just a different value. Sorry about the flash. I couldn't figure out how to darken that one area using Gimp. I'll work on it.

          I have not had the pleasure of replacing the stator on my bike. The guide that you provide is very clear and I've already saved a copy for future reference. Thank you for posting this information.

            Another GREAT EFFORT Cliff. As far as I am concerned your "LITTLE" website is HUGE. It is "THE OTHER BIBLE" or "THE GS BIBLE" for all sources of anything GS. Again congrats on a great effort.

            Cheers. Don

                If you want to redo it sometime, you could simply adjust the idle to 4000rpm or wherever it is you want it.

                  This is true, the knob on the carbs takes it up. I have a throttle lock on the handlebars that I use to hold it open
                  1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
                  1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

                    I'm seriously considering putting the idle adjustment from another bike onto my GS, it's a horrible design to have it in the middle where it's... difficult to get at. All the other bikes I've had/have have a knob on the left side that you turn in order to adjust the idle.

                      I've got a throttle lock. I didn't even think to use it. Thanks Mr. duaneage!

                        With how much you've done for guides for doing stuff on GSs, nobody is going to complain if it isn't quite perfect. It's a great resource even if you didn't take pictures of exactly what you wanted to.

                          it's infinate resistance.. not an overload specifically, it basically means open loop, as i understand it. but what it REALLY means is that somewhere, there is a problem.
