    Help Needed - Stranded in Raymond, NH

    What is the stator output for a 1982 gs450txz? After riding a few hundred highway miles the bike wouldn't start after a stop at gas station. Batt acid levels were low. Recharged battery at auto parts store, still nothing but dim light. I was able to push start, but that was only good for a minute. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Hi,

    How old is your battery? Only dim lights after recharging? Sounds like a bad battery, or a short in your electrical system somewhere. But you'll have to go through the troubleshooting procedures in the Stator Papers to test your entire charging system. Are all the connections and grounds clean? Is the r/r grounded to the negative battery terminal? Is the fuse box clean?


    Thank you for your indulgence,

      If you're not in a position to do any detailed diagnostics, just look at the wiring connections to your R/R (regulator/rectifier). On some models it is on the bottom side of the battery box.

      I find working on my motorcycle mildly therapeutic when I'm not cursing.

        If you're always adding water to the battery I'd suspect a bad R/R. It could be charging too hot and boiling the battery dry.
