Suzuki GS1100GK Charging

You can also connect the sense wire to the battery as it draws so very little current. For safety's sake, include a 1 amp fuse in the line if at all possible.

New R/R is here and ready to try the wireing,

The Honda R/R has 2 plugs ,The one I think is the one I need is the one with 3 yellow, 1 black 1 white, Is the white the sense wire?

[rustybronco]

What is the number off the side of the R/R you are speaking about?

[ricster60]

Sh236-12 0.1

Drive me crazy,,, Short drive

All righty then. I guess my only Choice left is the stater.... Still fine when I start the bike, Charge for 30 sec. to 3 minutes. Then The volt meter drops and stays down around 12.30 and drops from there slowly. after a 20 minute ride I can shut down and re start and do it again and it wont have the amps to re start.

It looks like that R/R is from a Honda which uses a field coil style alternator, not a permanent magnet style alternator these bikes use.

It appears to be the wrong R/R. Find another.

Still Not chargeing.

Just finished replaceing the stator, reg/rec. and added a few new wires. Still not charging and really getting frustrated. What are the chances that my elect box on the side of my battery box is the culprit?

[rustybronco]

What electrical box on the side of the battery are you speaking of?

And no, whatever it is is not the reason for your bike not charging.

[ricster60]

large Brain box on left side

I was thinking that the large electrical box might in some way have something to do with it.

[rustybronco]

What model R/R did you end up getting?
Do you have the stator wired directly to the R/R?
Have you the voltage output and resistance tests on the new stator?
Have you tested the battery to make sure it is capable of holding a charge?
Have you looked at the stator papers and done any of the tests?

You need to answer rustybronco's questions, so we can help you figure this out.

Suzi breaths FIRE !!!!

First off I need to say sorry to rusty for not getting back to him. Second , wait for it..... My Suzi is running great and charging like it used to... The new stator from RMStatronic in Quebec Canada is a success ! I made a slight mistake during installation and rectified that Prob. tonight and am and getting 13.30 to 13.75 at 5000 rpms , and the battery is doing fine . Thanks to every one and the Stator papers... Must read material. More tomarrow after the voyage... Poker Run Sunday......

Sorry, but your charging system is not okay if it's making less than 14 volts at 5000 rpm. You might want to go back and check the things Dale (rustybronco) suggested before you have trouble again.
