    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 had an aftermarket stator on one bike that put out 60v AC on all three legs & it worked fine.... (1000G).

Plus you are at 4k rpm not 5k rpm so it will be a bit lower (the 5k rpm figure is usually about 70-75v).

I put about 15k miles on it with that stator & who knows when it was changed out...

I would be more worried if one leg was a lot different to the other two.

i sent both in to warranty
 
Ricks stators are excellent, unfortunately, Ricks or any of the other after market R/Rs are not much better than the stock Suzuki R/Rs and can easily fail quickly and damage their associated stators. You have to match your new after market stator with a known good type of R/R. There is tons of information on this site about that subject. Do not use the Ricks R/R even if they replace it.

i have never seen a GS rotor become demagnetized..
unlike a large amount of CB honda's.
crash damaged and the magnet(s) becoming loose is a different story.

well ive never went down...rode down some pretty rough roads...what should i check for to be safe
 
just check the magnets for cracks/chipping/looseness.
see if a piece of steel pulls right to it...strong pull you know..
 
well only update so far is that my r/r tested bad...there testing stator today hopefully

edit: the stator tested good...so its my own stupidty assuming it was the stator...

but huge thanks to a memeber, i will be putting the shindigen or whatever its called honda r/r this round, and save the ricks for a spare
