1083 GSX 750 ES Won't charge

[jeff langmack]

I have a 1983 GSX750ES The charging system seems to have failed. I have tested the system by checking with a voltmeter and am only getting twelve volts at 3500 rpm. I think that it should be the same as my 79 GS850G which puts out 14.2 at bhthe same rpm. What might be wrong and where do I start looking. I have a shop manuel for my 79 but the 750 has a different system I think. Help. Jeff

Scroll down to the stator papers section.

do a quick test for starters and report back if you can't figure out the diagnosis

Jeff,

Your observation is correct, with 12 volts at 3500rpm your charging system is not working, and that is just the battery voltage (which is going to keep decreasing untill bike will not run).

Good that you have a meter and know how to use it.

Find the stator papers (mentioned above), and check things one at a time.

Put your general location in your profile (goto UserCP).
