    icefisherman, How hard was it to replace the stator? I'm getting ready to do mine. I'm shopping online now to beat the local price of $365 for the part.

Check the condition of the battery and the tightness of the terminals. Battery may not be holding a full charge after the original charging problem.

My 83' Suzuki GS550L is having power issues. It isn't charging, the regulator keeps overheating and burning up, the stator isn't putting out enough juice and I am left with a dead bike on the side of

You have replaced the battery, the rect/reg twice and the stator twice. Wiring is thought to be OK the only part not checked is the magnetic rotor. These rarely go wrong, to see if it is showing a strong magnetic force try putting a screwdriver blade near it.

Some bikes used to have brushes in the alternator similar to a car set up these can cause problems if worn or loose. If yours is a 2 part (air gap) alternator having just the rotor and stator try this. Unplug the alternator connector that links to the reg/rect. Get a multimeter and set to continuity ohms find a good earth point on the bike and connect the black meter lead to it touch the red lead to each contact in the alternator connector in turn if you get no reading or buzz from the meter the stator is OK. I would then look at the battery. Make sure the battery is able to be charged, do not use a car charger ever, you need a charger that is for motorcycle use only, less than 1 amp output. Never try to jump start the bike from another vehicle, when removing the battery disconnect negative first when fitting the battery connect positive first. Good luck.

My battery and it charges fie on the charger but when I hook it up it only will last couple of days then it dies. I put a volt meter on the battery while it was hooked up and revved to approx. 4,000 rpm...

Your probably only getting the battery voltage not what the alternator is putting out. Usually if the bike will start and run on a fresh battery and then dies after a few days the alternator is to blame. based on the age of your bike I'm guessing stator coil is bad.

Hi mate I would be getting someone to check resistance on your stator its a simple test only requires a multimeter but hard to explain on here - From what your saying I think this test could save your headache!
Once stators fail they can be completely unreliable such as allow you to push start but not kick start or allow you to start but as soon as bike warms up fails completely until cold again they even can give false reading when you test to see if spark is at the plug as you see spark but is not strong enough or is sparking at wrong time... I have had bikes come in my work shop where guys have been confident has spark and they have rebuilt and replaced everything you can imagine but all it was the stator failing with not enough resistance..

My problem is that I have to charge the bike just to start it, then once it starts it runs fine until I come to a stop, then it dies. It starts back up ok but still dies when I stop. The positive and...

sounds like you may have damaged the stator or another part of the ignition system when it shorted. the bike will only run while the battery has power as it is not being charged when the bike is running. when my stator went on the Harley it collapsed the battery and the bike just stopped, all the acid went over my primary cover and ruined the chrome, it was 1 week out of warranty at the time

Battery wont hold a charge. put new battery same problem. when i recharge it battery is drained after roughly 5 starts.

stator needs to be replaced, works just like a alternator, if you ever banged it or dropped the bike then you have a busted stator. easy to fix but might run you about $70-$90 bucks for a new one.

While riding all lights started to flash engine run erratic bike died of death bike will not start

Start with charging and load testing the battery. Then test the stator, to test the stator on the bottom of the right down tube is the plug that goes from the stator to the voltage regulator. With a multi meter, read the voltage from the stator, I forget the exact values but as you rev the motor the voltage should climb if it dosn't your stator is bad. If the stator is good take a reading again with the motor running at the battery cables, again I forget the exact value but you should have a steady reading at the battery, if it isn't and fluctuates it is bad.
