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...

    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.

Help! Need Wiring Guidance

Hello, my name is Matt. I recently purchased a 1980 GS750 basketcase and have been working to get it roadworthy. Well, today was the day to temp register it to see how it would act on the road. Everything was going good for the first 5-8 miles and then she sputtered and went dead, no more battery juice.:-( I got her home and start checking the stator to see if it quit. When I checked the wiring, something seemed amiss; two of the wires were haphazardly spliced together, and the third wire was not connected (this turned out to be the power wire).#-o ANyways, my question: On the rectifier, there are 3 wires: a white w/blue stripe wire, a yellow wire, and black w/white stripe wire (assuming this is ground). Does anyone know what these wires go to? As for the stator, I think it might be an aftermarket because it has three yellow wires (1 has power, the other 2 nothing). Any help would be appreciated.:-)
 
Three yellow wires from stator, yep, an aftermarket stator which is nothing to be worried about, not many will still have original and many replaced with other than Suzuki stators.

Send me a PM (left click on my screen name) and send me an email address for you. I can send you a color scan of a color schematic (for 80 850G). Will show the color of wires to regulator.

Possibly the one wire not connected is the one that goes up to connector in headlight shell and there it has a jumper where there used to be a contact on the headlight switch (can see this on schematic).

Welcome to GSR.

"1 has power the other 2 have nothing" your stator is stuffed, replace and PM redman for the wiring diagram.

Well, I got the wiring straightened out finally.\\:D/ It turns out a wrong type rectifier was installed when it needed a combo regulator/rectifier. So, thanks to those who gave advice and pointed me in the right direction.
