    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.

Charging issues help and troubleshoiting

Here’s an update: After several crimping and wire attempts, the Electrolux stator and sh-775 per Nessism ( thank you!) are installed, the voltage shows an acceptable if not great 13.62 at idle. I’m continuing to clean up contacts and grounds as I go through my bike, and as soon as the ricks stator cover gasket arrives, I can take the 82 out for some rest riding .
Thanks to you all , especially Rich and Nessism for the links, support, and advice️now I can get on to fixing other faults and digging into the forum.
cheers,
Johnny

13.62 VDC is good for idle. Rev the engine up until the voltage stops climbing. It should be 14.0 - 14.5 at max.
 
The voltage climbs steadily with throttle applied, I haven’t run the bike much or applied heavy throttle charging check until I replace the weeping stator gasket. I will be sure to apply plenty of revs while I’m out “testing” the bike around town when I don’t drip like a Harley
 
Click image for larger version  Name:	IMG_3643.jpg Views:	0 Size:	52.5 KB ID:	1777800 9/21 Took the Suzuki out on Sunday and ride 20 fun miles. before The bike stopped starting.
9/21 The electrical system is operating ok, output 13.46 vdc warm at idle. SIt climbs steadily as you wind the engine. My tach is inop, and I have a 4-1 exhaust that’s screaming loud so I can’t sustain revving high for long to get a leveled off measurement. The electrical system is operational as far as I can test.
9/24 removed stator gasket. Flywheel crank nut( which I had torqued to 117ft lbs per Suzuki manual, no retaining sleeve compound) had come loose,and one roller bearing of the starter clutch fell out, since its spring had bound and not engaged. I now have gouges in my crankshaft. Here’s a pic
I will be carefully hand filing the gouges, getting a rotor from my parts bike, and. Using plenty of green retaining sleeve compound when I install. And pray to the motorcycle gods it works .

thank you,
Johnny
