Re: 1981 R100RS Charging Problem. Help?

And hi, I'm a horses ass. I bumped the kill switch apparently. Also the gauges were just a loose connection that I tightened up. I feel stupid. But I'm happy too because now I can ride!

Re: 1981 R100RS Charging Problem. Help?

Hey guys. I replaced the rotor and that was the problem. Everything was up and running great until this morning. I went out to the bike to start it. It turned over maybe two times and just went dead.

Wow, tons of great responses here. Thanks guys. I do not get a GEN light at all. I took apart the cluster and tested the bulb and it's good so that's not the problem. I'm going to try that penny trick suggested. I also did order a replacement rotor hoping/thinking/assuming that's the problem.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everyone. If you can't tell I'm new here. I have a 1981 R100RS and I love it. However, yesterday it died on me. I had a friend come jump it and we were able to ride most of the way home, about 6 or 7 miles, but then...
