    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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...

  • 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.

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Man alive, 05! This has been a rough year on the 550. After not having to turn a wrench, for all practical purposes, on the bike in 3 years it decides to all come undone this summer.

So, it's r/r and stator time now. :x What's the consensus on whose we use? I got close to 40 grand out of this set of OEM's but they are quite a bit more expensive than aftermarket items.

I had some bad luck with Rick's. Plus the guy got nasty on the phone with me. :evil: So, I'm reluctant to take another chance with them.

ElectroSport. What's the word? Focus, I know you had some bad luck with them.

Are there any others? Haven't looked at JC Whitney yet... :?
 
I'm surprised at Rick's.
He's local to me and has treated me well over the years.
Just to let you know Dennis Kirk sells Ricks, so maybe dealing with Kirk will eliminate any problems dealing direct?

I returned an unused stator for exchange because it wouldn't fit my case. He claimed it would, I said it wouldn't and I guess we were both having bad days...

Trouble is I went thru two of his stators and one r/r in two years. But, the last one might have been the bike's fault. Rubbing wire shorted out to the frame and lights and fuses popped, two days later the charging system was toast, again.
