    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.

1982 GS650GLZ...Running well before the end of the season. I am in the process of rebuilding this bike over the winter, and as such, it is completely torn down. I have the R/R unit out, and thought I would follow the service manual, and check the R/R to the specs in said manual. the issue is that I have no continuity between any of the leads on my R/R unit...Where there should be resistance, there is none. It also shows an open circuit with the lead reversed, just to check the manual. Any Ideas?

BTW, I am using a Fluke DMM (T5-1000). It is auto-ranging, but new for Christmas, so its possible that I may not be using it quite right. My other multimeter is not digital, and very difficult to use for a proper resistance reading.

Ok, well, I just dug a little deeper, and found that my Fluke must not be able to measure diodes, or it does not scale down to the level I need it to, bacause my old amprobe analog Multimeter seems to work. :oops:
 
That's what it looked like in the manual, no diode function.
