    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...

    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.

Using an analog meter and the Haynes manual for a guide my
"Rick's" R/R is fried. Ohm, original, stator leads to the R/R are; W/Bl to W/R=7.7, W/Bl to Y=7.8 and W/R to Y=7.7. I foresee a compu-fire R/R and Rick's stator purchase coming up.:(

I would double check those results. There are too consistent for being so way off.

Do the Revised Phase B stator tests? You don't need the dummy load, just do the two sets of tests on the stator.
A.) phase to phase
B.) phase to ground
at 5000 rpm

A revised test is at this link; The actual test is on Page 6 of 9. We added the leg to ground AC voltage test as this helps isolate insulation breakdowns to ground using the relatively high 60-80 VAC stator voltage when it is open loop.

Link to Revised PHASE B of Stator Pages with discussion of testing methods:

Did you do a quick test to start? (for a sanity check)

Bike not running. Red wire connection between R/R and stator lead melted.

Not sure what wire that is. The Main RED(+) should not be connected to any of the stator wires.

If you are talking about White with red tracer (W/R) then you should at least rewire according to GS Charging Health and see if it is really gone. The Compufire is good but you may not have a burned stator yet. Of course it is safer to change them out if you have the cash.
 
My stator is not wired directly to the R/R. It is original thru the harness. PS Thanks for all your guides posplayr

Sorry getting back to you so slowly. Reading your "GS charging health", now I'm printing it. When I get my new stator and R/R I will wire it directly. What do you do with the old wires? Just snip them off?

The old wires run to the headlamp bucket where they are looped back. I snipped the wire and now have two spare wires in my harness to run from front to back.

I used one of them as part of a coil relay mod to get the kill switch O/W signal to a ignition relay near the battery.

Just tape/heat shrink them back. That shows in the first picture. Actually just looked and it is hard to tell because the whole wire color is covered. There are three which I don't know why at the moment.
 
Thanks posplayr. I'm going to order compu-fire R/R and Rick's stator tomorrow.
