    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.

Regulator question GS1100E

A friend has an 82 1100E that seems to have a melted connection. The first plug out of the regulator got corroded and hot enough to melt.

Do we try to fix the connector or replace the whole thing?

If we need to replace the regulator what would be the best source?
 
Many GS owners, like me, are using Honda R/R's. Check the Stator Papers for more info - access though the GSR homepage in the Garage section.

Wouldn't hurt to check the grounds first though. Suzuki's grounding for the R/R was very weak and caused lots of problems. It's generally advised to run a dedicated ground direct to the battery.

Good luck.

BTDT. I cut mine off and crimped on some good quality Amp splices with the proper crimper. Also, find the RR ground under the fuse block and run a short jumper wire from there to the neg batt post. Thats what I did and Im charging fine.

I told my friend I can ALWAYS count on logical/helpful responces from this web site.

You people are ALL RIGHT!!!!!!
 
My friend stopped out last evening with the bike, it's charging a full 14 volts with cool wiring. He did as is pictured with the connectors and grounded to RR to the battery.

Thanks again!!!!!!!!
