    1979 Suzuki gs550 manual.

    Does anyone have a manual for a 1979 Suzuki gs550 and could you tell me what voltage you are supposed to expect out of the stator? I am not sure if it is different for an E and an L but please post both if available. Thank you!

    Manual at the above link.

    No load AC stator testing is not definitive. A good stator should make something like 75+ VAC, but even if it does it could still be weak at output under load.

    The R/R grounds on the 550 were very poor so be sure to check those and run a jumper from the R/R straight to the battery. Also, be sure to run the stator wires directly into the R/R. The factory wiring ran one stator leg through the hand control which caused all kinds of issues.

    Good luck

    To measure is to know.
