    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.

1985 gs 700 battery goes dead battery store says its good i have been over the stator papers and each test is bad but just barely also when i pulled the cover off I found that the stator wires were pinched in the cover and bare what kind of havoc could this cause fixed bare wires redid all connections with hd bullet connectors still goes dead if I bump start it it will get me home but seems to cut out at low rpm so if the battery is dead and the stator is no good whats keeping my bike running sucks rather badly since the bike goes like a scalded dog when it has juice so where is the best place and what is the best brand of stator to purchase. also I know there is a member who sells r&rs cant remember who if someone knows pls let me know how to contact him thanks and sorry for the half page 70GT:rolleyes:

Hi Mr. 70GT,

Classic symptoms of charging system needing care...

Classic symptoms of charging system needing care...

It sounds like you for def need to replace your stator. Might as well replace the RR with a honda one from dueanage. I've bought stator and RR from electrosport with 50% success. First stator lasted me ~1yr before it fried again. Electrosport replaced it under warrantee. Bought a used stator off Ebay waiting for the replacement from Electrosport so now I have a spare (currently running w/used one off Ebay w/no problems). Also bought RR from Electrosport and have had no problems with my charging system since.

Not many vendors/options for stators. Go used, rewrap (or pay someone) the one you've already got. The Honda RR seems to be a better fix than the Electro model.

Should be able to solve your problems for $100-200 and a few hours of working....then you can ride with peace of mind...
 
new stator from Rick's is around $129-$139. I'm drawing a blank on the stator you can get in Canade for about the same price. Both stators have there good and bad stories. I've spoken with both companies and would feel pretty good going with either.

Rick's will rewrap your old stator for around $70-80.

Go with a honda r/r from dueanage if he has one available.
