Hey All,
I leave for vacation to Crater Lake next week and my bike i'm taking the stator just went south.
12.78v at 3,000 13.5v at 3,000 with fuse out of headlight.
continuity across all 3 yellow's = good
continuity yellow to ground on all 3 = bad
This is on my gl1200 standard.

I have one board member swinging by going to do all the work. Oh wait I didn't say that. Thank's Terry (cb650)
I ordered an accel stator today, great deal 120 shipped. I just hope its true, and said they had one in stock. I should see it tomorrow night.

I don't know squat about gl stators, but on 750s there should be NO continuity from yellow to ground. Open =good, continuity =bad

Yep, should be no continuity to ground.

If you really wanted more details, you could take an ohm-reading to ground on each leg, not just continuity. This would tell you which of the 3 phases went to ground.

That all being said, 13.5 volts at 3k is liveable... It'd keep the battery charged anyway. But, you'd want to limp HOME from vacation that way, not start OUT on vacation that way.

Good luck with it all.

Thanks,
I should have a fun weekend. Book calls for 8-10 hours of work.
You have to pull the engine to change it out.

Well, I thought that's what I remember reading, but I was thinking of the 1100s, not the 1200.

Piece of cake - one step at a time...

Sez I, from the comfort of my living room chair.

AHH did you get your grill working? I hope i dont find beer in a cooler either.

I was thinking a couple other members needed to get in on the experience.

78 k550 · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2010, 09:30:53 pm »

well get beer at 10 when they open. Grill does work just doesn't go very high.

We going to try and do it in one day?

Paul

didn't think but don't have a stator cover gasket. Might be making one if we get that close to going up.

Paul

78 k550 · « **Reply #9 on:** August 07, 2010, 01:40:59 pm »
