I think my stator crashed...I got a good one in another my old 1979 GS750, but I don't know if it's compatible with my 81. Can anyone clear that up?

Thanks!
 
79 uses the 12 pole stator, 81 uses the 16 pole NOT interchangable. You would have to change the rotor also. I don't know if it would fit
 
Okay well let me spill my situation here...I've had some issues with the bike since shortly after getting it and I'd like some other takes on it.

First...since the get go, at WOT, she bogs. Only when I open her all the way. She'd run fine up to until about 20 miles...then she'd start to bog and misfire all around. If I stopped for a bit, or toned down my riding, she'd run fine. I thought this was a combination of fuel starvation (filter + rusty tank = not always the best flow) and poor jetting (155 mains, 1981 GS750 K&N pods and full Kerker with baffle installed).

Today riding to work I experienced the norm...WOT still bogged and after about 15~20 miles she started misfiring. However, this time she just died all together. When this happened my lights went quite dim...my trailtech was running on it's powered light even when I switched my bike's lights off manually. Once stopped, there was no cranking. Battery was pretty well spent. I think I may have spent the last few miles of my trip running on the battery alone.

I'm starting to think all of this is connected.

Is there a way to check my stator? It seems like I've seena site that had a walkthrough but I can't remember where.

Can the bike sustain without a battery? I'm not versed yet with this model's ignition system.
 
yeah figures there'd be a link to it on the FRONT PAGE...

Thank dale! That's what I was hunting!
