electrex RR10 question

Hi,

I am planning on replacing my fried stator and voltage regulator with electrex units. but I have one question. My bike is a 79 GS1000E which has seperate voltage regulator and rectifier units. My question is does the Electrex RR10 include both of these functions in one unit.

Thanks.

Re: electrex RR10 question

Yes, the Electrex RR10 is a combined regulator/rectifier. I am using one on my 79GS750. It replaces the original separate components.

What about replacing just the regulator with Electrix and not the stator. My stator is still good. Where is the weak link?
 
the weak link is the conections for the stator to regulator/ rectifier, and the regulator ground.
these are the number one cause of charging problems including stator failures.
 
If I fix those - and it doesn't seem that difficult - is there any reason to go the the Electrix unit if my stock one is functioning?
 
If it is working fine and the voltage is good, 14 to 14.8 volts at 5,000 rpm, then yes stock is just fine.
my 1000g still has the original regulator/rectifier on it and may also have the original stator (not sure on the stator) at 128,000+ miles.
I actualy could use a new regulator, my bike is making 15 volts at 5,000 rpm's.
 
The stator papers is where I went to diagnose the condition of the stator. If you follow the directions and all three leads give the same voltage and it is within the tolerances listed in the article, your stator is fine. If not it is the first place to consider replacing. you will find if you get the RR-10 that it will eliminate some of the wiring you are using now. the connections are simple. A ground (to the battery is best) a positive to the battery and the three plugs that come from the stator. Its simplicity freaked me out when I got mine and had to call Electrex to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Good luck.
