    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    But hold on ........ Yes faulty stator being sent off today and replacement being sent to me. We can only be sure when I see charging happening !!! But imagine if this 2nd new stator passes all tests but doesn't charge the bike ...... It can't be the regulator, battery , fuses ....... But...

    Update : New stator confirmed to be faulty after running bike test attached. I took a risk at buying a cheap one which has not paid off and threw me down a rabbit hole. Beware anyone who assumes that a bench test with bike not running is 100% confirmation of a working stator !! Mine tested fine...

    Multimeter reading help

    Thank you !! My stator (a new one I ordered and fitted ) is thus dead - thanks. I am now back to.my stator thread that has every way to test a stator anyone desires if they read. I now realise bench testing most certainly is not a sure way of confirming one is working. It points to it working...

    Multimeter reading help

    I can't be trusted to go near the mains. If i can find thick rubber gloves ..... I may try it but seriously it is clear I am the worst at electrics and can't be trusted with the mains ..... I have to assume the reading 0.5v means 0.5 volts on the 200 AC setting. Not 5, not 50 not 500 or 0.05v...

    Multimeter reading help

    This is the test !!!! Below ,50v AC stator no good !!!!! This is the only test that fails from all the others that have been ok !!! The bike won't charge so surely it's this. Question is what is 0.5 at AC setting on my multimeter

    Multimeter reading help

    Ok Can someone tell me what 0.5 means on my multimeter ? That is the question! I simply don't know what it means ? Is it 0.5v ? I simply don't know and no instructions. As for.the analysis you need I'd read my other thread !!! I have done that and it checks ok !!!! My stator checks ok bar this...

    Multimeter reading help

    I am having to test a stator. Testing between 2 of the yellow stator wires in turn and running revs to 5000k to check if the stator voltage readings in AC at setting 200. If the result is under 50v I am informed the unit is faulty. It shows 0.5 at 200 setting as per pic and n all wires. I...

    As now have a bag of regulators though I'd test them for charging on GSX. Original - this on when charging system blow up. On GSX this one shows battery charging at 16v ! Clearly not good GSX original one - reg works fine New reg for GS - works fine So I know I have a working regulator (or a...

    Ok current status : I send so all know what happened and status. I went away for a few months , returned. Bike was sat with neg terminal off battery.

    Bike to a bike garage as this is beyond me. Iv replaced the entire charging system and still it will not charge. Every possible test on the regulator and stator has been done. Fuses ok. Battery ok. So it has to be the wiring or an incredible coincidence that the new stator is faulty in some...

    Unfortunately I can no longer post images on this site. No idea what's happening but the site is so hard to use on a mobile. So I can't send proper wiring diagrams. The bike now sits waiting for someone to tell me how on earth I voltage drop check the loom from the regulator which seems to...

    Voltage drop test result: (With known working reg from.my GSX) Between reg output and battery positive. Static battery - 12.71v Leads on as described / bike not running : 9.97v Bike running leads on as described - 9.55v So voltage drop = 3.6v Note this works fine on my GSX but is a small...
