Quick question...

Hi,

These may help...

Stator Replacement

Regulator/Rectifier Replacement

They are PDF files so you can "right-click" and "Save as..." for best results. That way you can keep a copy on your computer for easier/quicker viewing, even print it out.

Thank you for your indulgence,

Thank you BassCliff! I have them saved and read them a couple times.

According to my zedder suzuki cross reference the 2 stators are NOT compatable. They will fit an '82 650gl but not an 82 550gl. This is with part number 31401-45111 and 31401-450120 for a 1983 GS 850 GLD.

I also ran the reverse cross reference with an 82 GS 550LZ with part numbers 31401, 31401-47020, and 31401-47030 and none of them are compatible with any 850.

Well, I have $140.00 in the bike as of today. I can afford to buy a new one if need be but since I have this one I will see if it will work (if mine is bad). Will post my findings just to clear up the issue.

Thanks again to everyone for your help! If any of you ever venture to TCU be sure and say "Hi".

My only suggestion on the compatability and cross reference issue was stated back in post #3.

For those using the official Suzuki part numbers, there is a rubber gasket around the wires where the wires go through some webbing in the stator cover, toward the starter. The shape or location of that rubber gasket might be different, requiring the use of a different part number.

Aftermarket stators do not come with that gasket molded onto the wires like OEM, so their product will, indeed, fit multiple bikes that have different OEM stator numbers.

Just a suggestion, I don't know for sure. I have not worked on a 550 stator for comparison.
