Re: '94 GSPD Charging Issues

From my conversation with Rick at Motorrad Elektrik, it was a bad stator winding.

I just replaced the diode board and voltage regulator with Thunderchild units to no effect. Now I'm won...

'94 GSPD Charging Issues

I’m having a charging problem with my ’94 R100GS PD that has resisted my best efforts at troubleshooting. The charging light does not come on while running (but does light with the ignition switch) but I’m getting extremely low charging at the battery. After some cursory examination, I decided to st...
