    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.

Hey Electrical Gurus!!

I hate to be the one to ask the obvious question. Is the battery in your meter any good?
 
Well, it sure tests out everything else just perfect. The batteries are quite new.

I went ahead and installed the new r/r. A few minutes in the headlight cowl found a short between two wires associated with the horn and the turn signals. Fixed that and I fired it up. The charging is fine (like before) and the stator outputs wires weren't hot at all where I connected them to the r/r. I'll go for a ride tomorrow and check the leads periodically through the day.

On another note- anyone wanna buy a completely brand new Ricks Electrics stator??
 
Glad to hear you found the problem.....

This one thing bothered me all night until I had to go look at my meter...

I'm clear that I have a diode setting, and I have the range set right for what the manual says, X1ohms.

.....for my diode check to work on my meter, the range has to be set at 2K ohms....

Unless yours is auto ranging....

Just a thought.

My meter is auto ranging, it just has an ohms setting. I finally found my manual last night, I know the meter is working, and I know I'm using it right. But I can't get a proper reading from my last r/r or the brandy new one??

Chores done, heading out for a test ride...

Will it fit an '82 1100E?

Almost 100% positive. It just came to me from Ricks in NH on Friday, I paid $140 for it, they don't charge shipping, so I'd take the bath on the shipping for my failure to check that, but you can get the same deal from them, FYI.

I don't mind another stator in backstock. I'll put it with the pile of new gaskets and cables I have.
 
Everything OK now Geoff?

If that new stator is still collecting dust next time I come up with some money I'll take it. Right now I'd have to pass.
