    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.

One more question about stator and RR.

Ahh...

So THIS is why I've had charging problems - even though my system passes the 'stator papers' test - since I jerry-rigged the new wiring harness...

My light is no longer running on the 'light circuit, but is being powered by a jumpered-in lead to the light switch... Which would mean I'm running at ~66% capacity, since the light circuit is never operable...

Time to do the RR snip tomoorrow, then...

Yep, if the phase A circuit is never switched on and you are running your headlamp direct, you will drain your battery and fry your alternator.
 
Great!

Great!

I think these might very well be the BEST posts I've ever seen on the GS Resources forum. I eagerly await your next one. Thank you, James! :wink:
 
Thanks James for your electrical class !!!!
It was very clear !!!!!.

In my Country (Argentina and Brazil too)the Law says that it?s only necessary to ride with lights on when it?s getting dark ,or when you ride on the road during daylight.
Apart from that, my "baby Kat" came from Australia and the right control has 3 positions...
#1- Ligths off (only: turns lights, cluster, oil, and neutral light works)
#2- Park light or side light (it?s a 8 Amp yellow bulb which is under the 55/60Amp bulb.This also works with rear lights and gauges lights.)
#3- All the lights (park light doesn?t work in this position)

In my Country it?s also legal to ride in position #2 on ligthtened streets.
In some ocassions I had problems with car drivers, due to my lights being reflected into the car mirrors .

I do prefer this feature as it is a good way to signal a pass or to warn oncoming traffic, or cars exiting a driveway, etc. of my presence. I personally think it is a good idea to "flash"your headlamps often and use this trick all the time with great effectiveness. Simply flashing your high beams on and off does not have the same visual impact as completely switching the headlamp on and off. It really does work, people take notice of flashing lights.

I always do this trick, also is recommended by my Country?s Law.
