    Friday afternoon safety meeting.

    Mostly flaky wiring and melted contacts in the fuse panel. It was a bit of a beater though.

    VW Dasher!!! Had one too. Man I hated that car. Couple of years after I gave to somebody I was doing some IT work down in our industrial park and watch a car crusher have it's way with it. That was a great day. LOL.

    Brother in law in Nelson bought one new back then. Rode it a bit, sold it and has never been on a motorcycle since. That did it for him. I think he bought a 340 Dart after that.

    Due to an extremely hot dry summer with smoke and fires all around us I didn't get out much all summer. We did however just get back from some travel east of us in the prairies for a change from the mountains around us. Prairie Scene- Saskatchewan by soates50, on Flickr Great Sandhills -...

    Great shot Dave. It's all about timing. By the shape of the snout and position of ears I'd guess mink as well. I wouldn't think river otters arch their back like that either. Could be wrong on that though.

    Charging Guru Needed

    I guess 65vac isn't enough to charge properly. Installed the new stator this evening and got 80vac. All is well. Any stators I've seen fail in the past looked WAY more crusty than that one and with no doubt failed any tests. Live and learn as they say. That one did last quite few years. I like...

    Well that's disappointing. Old stator looks fine. New one arrives tomorrow so we'll see how it goes. Could still be failing under load from a broken wire but it's not burnt and it did test OK with no load however. Stator by soates50, on Flickr

    That's how I wired the new one. Probably time to stop being a cheap prick and spend some money. The current stator and R/R have given me about 15 years and 50,000 kms of trouble free use though. We'll see what happens after the new stator.

    My thoughts exactly and ordered up a new one. I thought also possible is a new defective (aka cheap) R/R. I'll find out when the new stator arrives. Yeah, maybe put the reliable old Honda one back in. Just kidding.

    Charging Guru Needed

    Problem is bike (GS1000N) is only charging just over 12 volts (12.2 - 12.4). Just enough to maintain the battery so the bike is rideable without actually discharging the battery. 1.) Stator. It's got an old aftermarket stator, not sure which brand because I it got off an old parts bike. Yellow...
