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.

  • 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.

Faulty R/R and/or stator?

  • Thread starter Thread starter sporty

Listen guys, two bikes in one thread gets confusing.

As a general comment, the factory Suzuki wiring for the charging system is weak. GSR common wisdom has it to wire the stator directly to the R/R, bypassing the factory wiring harness. Next, make sure the R/R is well grounded; many members here run dedicated ground wires, split, one to the frame and the second to the battery negative post. Lastly, how to route the Positive feed out of the R/R has a couple of options: one is feed back into the factory harness and through the regular fusebox and back to the battery, and second is to bypass that and run it direct to the battery with a small fuse holder added. If your fuse box and wiring in general is decently clean, using the fusebox is easier. If you are seeing resistance in those circuits though, a new wire with fuse saves time and energy vs. cleaning all the wiring.

Good luck and hope this helps.

this usually means a bad connection between R/R(+) and Battery(+). If it is bad enough it will also make the R/R HOT.

Woodsy,
Posplayr is the GS guru on R/R's and he has spent a lot of time proving and testing the workings thereof, he gives good advice.
Nessism also knows his stuff

Some people have unnecessarily replaced electrical parts and in the replacement process fixed the bad connection unknowingly, but at a cost.
Many useful coils, igniters and R/R's have been binned by them as a result.;)

Your help is very much appreciated Fellas, i didnt want to replace anything big to start off with so i started with conenctions and to replace the standard fuse holder ( gsx250 only has 1 main fuse ) which did get me afew extra volts, so i can only imagine the condition of the rest of the wiring harness under all that black tape.

could anyone explain to me why i cant get a reading from the RR using the multimeter leads the correct way as per manual? can only get readings if i reverse the leads
