    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Hey everyone,
Have not been on for a while but we just got some nice weather here in Green Bay WI and decided to fire my bike up after almost 5 months of storage and work I did on it over the winter. Went through just about every thing front to back except the engine. Went really well thanks to all the help from all you GS lovers. I have a question about my charging system. Have a new battery, cleaned the harness, did some rewiring, added a SPG, grounded every thing the best I could. Started the bike today and preformed the quick test and tested the stator which checked out fine, but my voltages are 14.0 at idle 13.8 at 2500 rpm 14.2 at 5000 rpm. RR is still the factory one. I was wondering if I should change the RR to a sh775 just to be safe.

Thanks again M.K.

Don't wonder, get a SH-775 and enjoy stator happiness

Consider mounting an onboard voltage meter to keep you informed .

GS650G in Green Bay?! Same here :) I have a SH-775 on my bike as well, along with a voltage indicator light from Ebay (from the UK) that indicates charging status.
