    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Ok. I'm afraid your gonna have to be very specific. What am I checking volts DC or AC , ohms ? I don't think I can give more stats ! The GSX is 8miles away from where I am. Do you want the reg fully connected on this test ? I am beginning to think I know what you mean. You mean to : from reg...

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Also I'm trying to find / understand the units on this multimeter. I was testing ac volts setting 200 on mm. It registered 0.5. What does that mean ? If it is 0.5 volts it means the new stator I put in is faulty as it had to be over ,50v. As per this test - attached.

    Ok - I will have to do the workshop manual tests another time. Very hard to understand and pics so bad. I'll have to get my copy. BUT I have a checklist from.net of what to test. - the reg tests ok in these tests. The reg works on another bike so let's assume it's ok. - the test tells me that...

    I thought the rectifier and regulator were the same. I have the proper service manual but alas not where I am.... Haynes only here . I know the regulator or whatever it is is ok as works on the gsx. Iv replaced the stator and regulator or whatever that is. - I will try and find where what...

    And finally I have same as battery volts at the regulator loom cable. 12.6v. the wire that goes from loom to reg. (Then the 3 stair wires and reg earth cable) So it's.not the regulator, stator (although prob was as blackened and tested bad when warm) , fuses. Bike was perfect running order...

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Ok - took regulators to test on GSX. I'll test the GSX one on the GS later . The GSX one I know works. No reg has worked so far in GS since I wired the original regulator neg to the POS term of battery and blew the original stator wiring. BUT On GSX tests of regs as follows : GSX regulator -...

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    Ok new regulator fitted and no change. Bike will not charge but otherwise runs fine. New reg bench test shows as faulty ? ​​​​​​It is either a faulty reg again or some wiring which can only be from the positive reg connector to bike as that's only wiring that is not renewed with a stator / reg...

    There are so many replies that have nothing to do with this problem best leave it to me. The issue is as per the start of this thread. I can't explain it again. As for being 'told' to buy a mega regulator that will fix all my issues that is of no use to me. It has nothing to do with this...

    Updatw Battery - same battery does accept charge from another bike. (GSX uses same battery and tested on that) So battery ok New stator So it's just the regulator now. I have a spare but On test on diode setting it checks ok but low figures 390. Sure they usually are ,,550-650

    Update : not good !! But today fitted new stator Status of as was with old stator : - when bike cold two tests seemed to show it to be ok. It failed when I had warmed bike up on 3 wires to earth. - checking regulator it tested ok This testing with the diode setting on MM. Current status: New...

    Battery amp lesson help

    One more question. What about one of these devices ? Yes agreed I already know battery is knackered BUT What coukd this tell me ? Or could it confirm a poor battery due to lack of amps ? I promise I won't ask about amps again ever ,!

    Battery amp lesson help

    Thanks guys. GSX and GS now share a battery ..... By elimination it is of course knackered. Agreed. Annoys me that I can't be more specific and reveal yes voltage ok but it's only pushing out ??? amps. Agreed my multimeter is thus not the tool to do this. But agree - buy another !!

    Battery amp lesson help

    I have never known how to test a motorbike battery or any battery to test the amps ? This is not related to another thread I have open. This is a separate bike issue. (Can I add I am the worst at electrics but can do basic diagnosis) I ask this as on my GSX250 i have a madly old lead acid...

    Stator arrived - awaiting gasket. Bench test on new stator : Res between 3 wires a-b,a-c,c-a 0.1-0.4ohms Res each 3 wires to body of stator 1 or OL (Basically the same.as my gsx250 one in situ in gsx250) So all good so far ......

    Stator and wiring burn out ? - GS 550et 1980

    P.s I am sure I have asked before and with similar test results from test 1&2 with a new stator on my gsx250 all was good again. It has to be the stator why on charge test voltage not increasing with revs ?
