    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

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
