      I have Electrex regulator/rectifiers on my 750 and 1150. I couldnt be happier with both of them. Best money I ever spent. :-)

        I'm happy with my Electrex R/R too.
        And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
        Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

          I've had an Electrex on my '83 for several years and have no complaints.

                I, too, have the Electrex R/R (more as a preventive measure than anything else). I also put in Accel 3 ohm coils and the Dyna III ignition. The combination improved the heck out of my bike. The coil instruction did mention a possible need to go up a jet size due to the better spark.

                    As always Earl speaks nothing but the truth.
                    I have both the Electrex R/R and the Electrex stator.
                    Easily one of the best investments I made in my bike, besides buying it in the first place.

                      Electrex stator and RR on both of my GS's. I don't like bump starting.

                        Great to hear all the good stuff about Electrix R/R I just ordered one yesterday. If you are in Canada the Electex depot is in Alberta the e-mail on the link site was wrong it should be electrex@efirehose.net and the # is 1-866-999-4377. I let them know that the e-mail was wrong they may have fixed it by now.

                          Will the Dyna III work on an 83 GS850G that already has an electronic ignition or is it not necessary?

                            Should be recieving Electrix stator this week, and will be checking it all out again. Probably will order the R/R anyway just to make 100% sure all is well.

                            NOT fun being 6 months off the bike!

                              Definitely get the R/R. It is actually more important to replace than the stator. It would be a shame to have that old R/R burn out your new stator.
