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.

WHERE IS THE PLUG LOCATED AND ARE YOU HAVING CHARGING PROBLEMS??
hot wires
Scotty has almost certainly nailed the problem. You need to check ALL the connections on the bike, because they deteriorate over time and that creates resistance. With several poor connections things may still work, but the electrical draw can overload the charging system, and then it fails.
Unfortunately, if you have the original Suzuki system, it may be ready to fail anyway.
I haven't checked today's new version of the site yet, but we should still have a section called The Stator Papers. Arm yourself with a good volt-ohmmeter (VOM), print out these pages, and check your bike, cleaning connections as you go. Pay particular attention to battery ground and fuse-box.
Follow the instructions in sequence....jumping ahead may cause faulty results.
By the way, if you should need a new r/r, our site Sponsor, Electrex, makes a better one than the original and they don't just sell it to you, they give a guarantee on it.
Good luck.
