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.

    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.

Stator ? Why?

Well, it would appear that my stator has crapped out,
output AC 15V all three legs
Infinite resistance to ground
0.7 ohms on the lowest setting between the three wires
The only thing that changed was the output, Why would only the one thing change and it would fail?
Electrical is my achilles heel, so if you have an idea, let me know.
So now shopping for a new stator, they range from 120 to 220 usd,
Now there are also two different stators for the 83, one is 93mm and the other is 103mm, does anyone with the E model remember what they put in?
 
I think the usual reason is heat, the root of all charging system problems. All that AC voltage bumps into a bottle neck at a bad connection, bad R/R unit, etc... and with nowhere to go it cooks the stator..
 
Yep, heat. Put that stator in hot oil and it doesn't last. heat raises resistance of electrical items.
I think an oil cooler would be a help not only for the charging system but the engine, too.

In the works on mine. Got a good deal on an 1150 cooler, just scored an adapter plate, now it's getting a mounting plate and hooking it up.
 
Bump!!
Does anyone know if my bike takes the 93mm stator or the 103mm stator?
Also the cheapest source for a stator?
Is it Electrosport?
 
I recently purchased a stator and recitifier/regulator from RM Stators for my 1984 GS 750E. They had a bit of a stato/regulator combo sale so I just bought both.
Unfortunately I didn't keep any paper work for part numbers and I threw out the old stator a week ago or so. Sorry I can't help you with dimensions.
I did have to email back and forth with Sean and Mike(?) at RM with various measurements and pics of the stator to ensure I got the right one. They were quite willing to check with my pics and dims so what they ended up sending was the right one.
You may need to pull the stator out and send pics and dimensions to whoever you decide to purchase from.
RM STator are located in Ayers Cliff, Quebec, Canada.
Since i live in BC there was no customs issues to contend with and the package got to me very quickly.

GS750B won't downshift when hot. Oil, springs, swell, shift forks?
