    ok heres a good one someone help me figure this out!

    Ok you all probally kknow i have a 1979 GS550L well... so i thought. as you may have seen i have had some "ignition problems or was also diagnotis as possible fuel problem" well my battery died again (brand new battery) so here come the fun part... i look in the manual and it says i have a regulator and a rectifer well i looked high and low couldnt find it so i fliped to a page for 1980 gs550lt and BAM 1980 the combined it all into one... so im thinking maybe somone changed it to that style regualtor is it possible?
    well anyways it seeems to be i need an alternator is this hard to do i have the clymer manual and they discuss it in like 1 paragraph but that doesnt tell me how hard it is to do in the "real world"

    look at the stator papers in the garage section from the home page. they are very informative and should answer all your ?'s

      It's not tough to do. You have to pull the stator wires through the upper crankcase and out with the cover and stator. You'll need an impact driver to get all the phillips head bolts out. Locktite for reintalling them.

      There was even a discussion once about using a set of jumper cables to help get the cover off.

          Billy you are giving into temptation
          As far as the regulator and rectifier go. doesnt one of those models have something hidden under the batter case. i seem to recall athread on that sort of thing.
          8O Boy is it difficult not to bring up the Jumper cable thing

            Before you go any further, do the tests in the Stator Papers.
            You may find you have a loose connection or something equally weird (and cheap and easy!!)
            Let us know your progress.
