    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.

If the stator test stacks up ok there is no reason to change that you will find good info here http://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...-Charging-System-Health&p=1138531#post1138531
As for mounting the regulator your choice providing it does not overheat. Although it's better to have the ground as short as possible. Again search here for info one the "single point ground" Search for info on the sh775 and also what is known as the "handle bar loop" all worth while.
if you are thinking on getting a sh775 rectifier then there is info here make sure before you buy it has the markings as in this post. pictures are in page 7

I found two grounds at the headlight bucket not connected.

Another thread jogged my memory about this. Were those "two grounds" a black/white stripe wire ending in a bullet connector that wasn't connected to anything, and a brown wire ending in a bullet connector that wasn't connected to anything? Did you add connections to ground for either of those wires?

If so, you need to undo the connection to ground you added for the brown wire. That wire comes from the tail lamp (the dim filament of the tail/stop lamp) and is meant for a front parking light on non-US bikes. If you have that brown wire grounded inside the headlight bucket, you're going to blow a fuse once you get the ignition switch reconnected to the battery and turn the ignition switch on.

Grounding the loose black/white wire in the headlight bucket probably won't do anything bad, and might do a (very tiny) bit of good. You don't have to have it grounded, though. Probably most US-market GSes live their entire life with those two "extra" wires in the headlight bucket, not connected to anything.
