    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 have a 1981 gs1000g. I am having battery charging problems as well. I replaced the stator 2yrs ago and i thought everything was fine. but now sometimes my bike won't start, because it's turning tooooooooo slow. I keep reading where some of you guys made some changes in wiring and actually changed to a honda rectifier/regulator. which of these changes will work on my gs? any suggestions?
 
You say it turns slowly "sometimes". Does it turn over later on after it cools down? Is your battery okay? We need more information to help. I apologize for not having some possible answer, but need just a bit more info.

Break out a voltage tester when the bike is turing over slowly and see what the voltage is across the battery terminals. If it is 12V or above I would look at a mechanical problem. You could also test your stator and regulator to see if they are bad. Get a friend to come over (it really helps to have a spare set of hands when testing) and use your (or someone else's) volt-ohm meter and follow the Stator Papers guidelines to test the system.

it turns over slowly becuase the battery gets low, like it isn't charging good or something.

regulator/rectifier

I "heard" talk of some wire changes or additional connections to the battery from the regulator/rectifier as well as changing these out for the honda version of the same beast! Those are the instructions I am looking for.
