    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.

Hello all. I'm new here but not to motorcycles. I ride a Suzuki Bandit 1200s and my wife rides a GS425E we bought last year. Her bike didn't run when we got it...but two spark plugs later, viola!

We put about 3K miles on her bike last year. Lot's of touring around the Pacific NW. Hopefully, we'll get more touring in this year...although her bike isn't running right now. That's what's brought me to this forum. Somebody named Juan Delgado mentioned this forum in a Youtube video so I'm here looking for a stator diagnostic sheet he was using. I'm sure I'll find it soon.

We love motorcycling. I've been doing it most of my life, my wife is very new. She just got her endorsement last year.
 
Welcome Aboard!
Loads of good stuff here. I'm not at my computer at the moment, if I was I'd post a link to the self diagnosis of the charging system. I do recommend getting a digital volt meter. Best investment when you have an old GS in the stable.

B-12 is a great bike! Why I have one! It was my first liter bike and my first bike to put over 25k miles on. I prefer my Gen 1 over the Gen 2 but hey to each their own.

Welcome again! Good luck with your fix!
 
Here's a link for you: http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/

That web site will give as much info as you can handle for a while. There are tutorials on Stators, R/R, carb cleaning, and a bunch of other stuff. Bass Cliff is a member of this forum and he has compiled a boatload of info.

Welcome to the forum and say "Hello" to your wife, Viola ;)
