hey GS crew i have an 85 GS1150efe & my brand new battery went dead on me, & when i checked my fuses.. my main power fuse was melted to the pannel. I checked for fraid wiring & saw no bare wires or anything. Charged the battery & checked the charging system, all seems well. But i'm worried it'll happen again.

You either have a short, bad ground or a bad R/R. Make sure all the grounds are clean and tight. -
How do i check my R/R?Comment

Hi. Fine flow chart for that in the "Stator Papers". Can be found on the home page.
Good luck.

For me, it was definitely a bad R/R. the R/R was putting out only 12.9 volts and the red wire coming out was cooking its insulation, and then then melting the adjacent stator wires. I bolted in a honda R/R from ebay for $20 and it's much better now. The stator pages are dead on. follow them, if your volts and ohms are not in agreement with the stator pages, then you have an issue and the it'll lead you to the right answer.
