GS750 Electrics

[Pete Logan]

I've read in the archives about conversion to Electrex rectifier/regulator and generator and Dyna coils as a preventative measure.

My '82 GS750 has about 45k miles and original electrics. Is it a good idea to do this conversion ?

if it aint broke, don't fix it..


If you are having charging system problems, then go ahead

Just spend an afternoon cleaning and making sure all electrical connections are tight. Make sure you have good grounds too.

OK thanks guys - I'm not having problems, so that's another one for the "When it breaks - maintain it" list.

Thanks again

The cleaning and checking connections isn't....that is preventative maintainance....you may keep your R/R and Stator longer with good connections.

True and a good point - thanks

Add a ground cable from the battery (-) to one of the mouting bolts for the reg/rect that will eliminate a lot of problems Also do not allow the bike to run with a low oil level Oil is used to cool the stator

Thanks - I've also heard that adding a ground cable to the starter body (usually mounting bolt) helps too.
