    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.

I know that the R/R on GS750s had problems, but does the R/R on the '79 GS1000L have the same trouble? If so, I'm definitely going to the Electrex solution. Probably a Dyna S and the Dyna coils, too. Which Dyna coils go with the Dyna S, the 3 ohm or the 5 ohm?

You don't have to go swapping out the reg/rec if it's working ok. Run a heavy earth (ground) from the (-) battery terminal to one of the bolts on the reg/rec.

The problem is much deeper than that, don't know how much you want to know, but the reputation with Suzuki charging systems is pretty much across the entire line. Usually the r/r fails due to shorts somewhere else in the system.

GS's use 3 ohm coils stock.
 
Thanks, guys. I had an Electrex R/R on my GS750 and had no problems in 43,000 miles. The Stator and Rotor seemed robust enough. I guess I'll try the heavy duty jumper and see what happens. The bike only has 7800 miles on it and has always been garaged so I don't think it's going to be too worn out.

My R/R are seperate. Can you replace both with a single unit? It's for my '79 gs1000.
