    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Newbie here.....My dad has given me his 1978 GS1000 he bought it brand new has less than 10k on it. It has done the ol' R&R trick. I have searched the forums but still can't quite decide which way to go on replacement. I see the Honda trick but it looks like it may be awhile before I could get one. Which is THE best way and place to go. Thanks for your help...I wanna get back to ride this ol' girl.
 
Electrosports.......no other. This is a stock replacement, but it cures all the original bugs

Late model Honda regs can be had on Ebay just about an day of the week for $30 or so. Only a year or two old and way more robust than the GS regs.
 
Ok, I'm thinking about the Honda replacement. Is there a specific year,model,etc. That I should be looking for? And is there any mods that you have to do to get it to work correctly? Sorry for all the ???'s but I don't want to get stranded again.

I'm using a CBR1000RR from either '05 or '06. It's a 5 wire R/R and you just cut off the Honda plugs and the stock Suzuki plug on the wiring harness and use spade connectors to hook up the Honda unit. Use shrink type insulation to keep things dry and from arcing. My particular R/R is an SH678FB. Some people are using newer FET type R/Rs from even newer bikes.

do a word search for r/r replacement recommendations here and there is a list of 30-50 r/r that may or maynot work. The list will inform you which r/r's have been proven to work. I used this list with success.
 
Thanks Guys you have been a great help....off to the ebay store.
 
If you've been reading, and it seems as you have. Clean and/or replace all the electrical connections from the front to back. Get a multimeter and go through the stator papers. Make sure all the grounds are grounded well.

Do you have some pics to share ?:)
