    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...

  • This forum is for placing reviews for parts, accessories, gear and service as it relates to your GS motorcycle. The key here is "GS Related". There is a bit of latitude here but we don't want to see a review on Maytag washers just because that's what you use to clean your riding jacket in.

    Keep your review as factual as possible and please refrain from personal attacks. Posted articles will be reviewed by the Editors and may be removed at their discretion.

    So let's make this a useful addition to the forum! A special pat on the back goes to Hap Call for coming up with this great idea.

    The views expressed in this forum are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of "The GSResources" or the editors.

    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.

Found an idependent all American Stator rebuilder for a variety of bikes. Will exchange or rebuild stator for a very resonable amount. This rebuild comes with a 1 yr. warranty, also. I do have an order in to give this a try. I really don't see the need to pay for an item imported as opposed to spending my money for a service here in the USA. Here is the Company:
TPE-Tim Parrott Enterprises
Attn: Rebuild services

Kellyton, Al 35089

Do you have a typical cost? A stator should fit into a USPS $4.95 flat rate box for $10 cover shipping?

You beat me to it. Mine was $79.95 plus 12 something for shipping. They also have r/r that are of a new development for $79.95. He is sending me the spec sheet for it. Bob

Stator Rebuilder

Just received my stator rebuild/exchange. Rebuild qualities look good, Insulated well with rubber bushing and soldered connectors with shields. I like the fact of the long leads, also. Shipped to my door $91.45 and a shipping label to send back the exchange. Part was $79.95.
 
Ooh, purty!

Those bullet connectors are still evil, bad, and wrong. I would replace both the bike and stator sides with proper spade terminals pronto.

C'mon Brian, I don't plan to have the the bike another 28 yrs. The bike is an 82. So, If they are so evil, have you replaced ALL your oem connectors on all the bike's you have or had? I think not.... New bullit connectors and dielectric grease for me thank you. I have used spade connectors on my other models I have had to replace stator/regulators. But did not feel the need to do it on this application. Time will tell and I am old. I don't think I will be around when it will need another electrical repair. :eek: Bob
 
Well, based on his email to me this AM, the price sounds reasonable for my stator but I'll see how this other one I'm getting from Tkent02 will turn out first. Thank you for the info.

All the critical bullet connectors, you bet your bippy I have replaced them.

There are still a few bullet connectors left here and there on my bike, like maybe the oil pressure switch wire, but not in any roles that could leave me stranded, like the coils.

The various "block" type connectors used for most GS wiring are fine as long as they're kept clean and deoxidized.

Bullet connectors are more prone to corrosion, so if you've added deoxidant grease they should be fine for a while.

I'll be the first to admit I hate wiring, so I am prone to overkill in this area -- I wire stuff so I never have to do it again.
 
How did the stator from this company work out? I am in need of one and am wondering if I should give him a try or go to elctro sport etc....
 
Stator

Stator

I had installed the stator, modified the wiring, replaced the r/r with a Honda reg. and also installed a volt meter on the bike. Everything works fine. Don't have a problem with recommending their product. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Bob
