83 GS1100ES Stator wiring?

Crap!
Too bad I bought a genius, I'll have to see if they have one?
 
At the bottom of the page they are selling the quick connect, voltage meter and USB charger for $30.89.
 
Or I could just go old school and plug the test leads from my meter into the end of the Genius connector.
But I do like the idea of a USB charger though.

I was just checking as there is another member from QC Canada and an 83 GS1100E who is doing a Compufire and a Solid State Power Box.

I don't guess that is you, but you might consider that the SSPB will also be a great upgrade for these big bikes.

Read about the SSPB here or in the other links in my signature.

Nope, not me, QC is a few thousand miles east of here.
Questions about the SSPB?
I'm not really looking for more power, the motor performs well, my only reason for upgrades would be reliability, is this something that would give me more reliability?
 
Yes. I will name a few:
The auto cut out of the headlamp makes the engine spin faster and you are less likely to damage the starter clutch.
There is a very robust design for suppressing surges so you are highly unlikely to blow anything out due to high transients as might happen when you disconnect a charger or jumper cables from a running car. This is unheard of in the motorcycle industry but is fundamental to modem automobile design.
You will have fuse less safe power. You can short anything on the output and the SSPB will self protect till you remove the short and it automatically reverts.
The SSPB is designed to virtually eliminate contact corrosion problems inall switches ( ignition switch, kill switch, accessory switches excluding headlamp h/l) and connections and grounds between the r/r and battery.
Those are the highlights.
The SSPB does have a nominal voltage drop associated with no more than about 0.15 ohms from source to load . For example from battery, fuse ignition switch , fuse box again, kill switch to coils. The only way to get rid of that is with mechanical relay mods and although the power is slightly higher it is subject to the reliability and space issues of mechanical relays. The SSPB eliminates that issue and the need for any such relays. In general all devices get more voltage and with greater overall reliability.

That's a lot of reasons! Thanks.
It's an upgrade I'll likely do a little later on, the used bike I just got a great deal on is running into some money.
The truth is he only reason that the bike isn't at a shop right now is due to the fact that I live in a small town (used to live in a big town:cry:) and there is only one guy who will work on these things and he's too busy right now.
He's not even a real bike shop.
I used to do all of my own work so out come the wrenches, dust off the skills and dig in.
To be honest this is the first used vehicle I've bought in twenty years or more.
I don't mind doing the work now, I'm retired and this isn't my primary means of transportation.
Having said that, it's Canada, it's late June and I wanna get in all the riding I can before it's time to drain the carbs, put fuel stabilizer in the tank, throw the cover on it and say goodbye for six or seven months.

I understand, sometimes I wonder if I dont work on the bikes too much and should just ride more. :o
 
OK Gang, I screwed up and ordered an OEM style R/R I thought I was ordering one thing but I didn't take my time and well ..............*^(&%(&!
Next question for my new found GS pals:
Where is the best place to order a series R/R, pricing, delivery ETC?
Thanks again in advance.

The Shindengen 775 is a relatively inexpensive (and popular) option for a series R/R. I bought mine here: www.polarisparts123.com (Polaris part #4012941)

More sources for the 775 listed here in this thread, especially since cross border shipping gets pricey.

Thanks I located and have ordered one, I guess I'll have an extra OEM type R/R for sale, Anyone interested? LOL!
$50.00 you pay the shipping to your destination>
Thanks

Sorry, no award considered,unless after installation of new stator and/or R/R, he does Quick Test and reports his test results!
Click to expand...

Up and running folks, thank you one and all for your tips, suggestions and advice!
I've installed the stator, new battery and an O/E type R/R, my series type is on the way and will be installed next week.
All wired direct bypassing the harness altogether.
14.45 volts at everything above idle.
Next week: LED driving lamps and steel braided brake lines with an aftermarket master cylinder with an adjustable lever for my mutant hands.

You might want to read this before installing replacement LED lighting.

I'm installing a series R/R next week and will start changing over the bulbs then.
A couple of questions for you, if you don't mind?
If I install LEDS in my turn signals with load resistors, will my self cancelling function still work?
I wasn't able to get a clear answer reading through the links you posted.
My other question is: will you have any SSBP's available from your next run?
And I had thought I'd seen a wiring diagram for the installation of the SSBP but I don't seem to be able to find it again, could you post the link?

Your self cancel will only work if you continue to use the original OEM Flasher.

If you use load resistors then the Shunt R/R will not not be a problem (but that defeats the purpose of the LED's now doesn't it)

The SSP installations are in my signature.

The probably last run of SSPB's is right now.

I was going to install the LEDs for increased brightness not necessarily to reduce the overall load.
To tell the truth I can live without the self cancelation feature, I lived without it far longer than I've had it.
Can you supply me with a SSPB? if so send me a private message with payment details.
Thanks again for all your help.
