    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...

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.

Hey guys,

I just purchased a SH532-12 from a 1982 CM450 to replace my r/r for my 1983 GS550e. Just wanted to make sure it would work before I put a crater in my bike. From what I've read it SHOULD work and I don't really see why it WOULDN'T, just wanted to check with the experts :P. I'm pretty sure I've got this straight on how to wire it but if you could give me some tips that'de be awesome.

three yellow wires -> stator output
green wire -> ground
red wire -> positive battery lead
black wire -> live circuit

any tips would be great.

Thanks again.
 
That's correct!

Just to clarify, a "live" circuit (+12V, black wire) should be one that is live only when the key is on.
 
Easy -- Hook it into the brake light switch, make sure to use the hot side
 
The reason why it's so easy to hook it into the brake light circuit for the sense wire (that needs +12v when the bike is on) is because all you need is some bullet connectors. Get some 18ga bullet connectors and a crimper, and make a "Y" with two female and one male connector (male power connectors should point toward the power source whenever possible!). It's best if you can solder into the bullet connectors. Unplug the orange/brownstripe wire that belongs to the rear brake light switch, plug in your "Y", and plug your r/r into one and the brake light into the other female bullet connector. On the GS1100GL I have, the brake light wire connections are inside a floppy rubber tube with a bunch of female bullet connectors coming from the wiring harness and plugs coming from the rear and middle part of the bike.

One of these days someone should unite all the info in the various rectifier threads into a single comprehensive article. Maybe I'll do this when I have my bike's electrical system back on its feet....
