GN250 charging system?

[ducatilover]

jesus, hope it is easy and cheap to do cause if its the stator the suzuki dealer wants 503 odd dollars for a replacement part.. eeep!

Shop around lol You'll probably find that it's a common part, my stator was very common.

yea already spotted a fella selling one on trademe recons its new etc.

damn, not being able to get a reading off the stator is really bugging me now! I took tank and bits off so I could follow the wires, still tricky since suzuki (or someone) decided to grab all wires and put them in a single sleeve so you can't really follow the wires all the way, I see it goes into the sleeve and then I think im getting it where it comes out but found 2 potential plugs - one has 4 points and one 3 points.

anyway, neither of the plugs give any reading or registering on the multi.

flag.. I'm going to suggest reg/rec replacement first and if problem persists then stator. the old process of elimination at someone elses expense play..

You can get them rewound for 1/2 that or less

good to know, figured there would be a cheaper option eh.

hoping its the reg/rec anyway as thats easier to unplug and plug in a new one..

Cost me about $45 to re-wind mine and a few hours

haha, wish u lived in Dunedin bro.. im sure you would be over in my shed every night helping me fill up the ashtray and such

(and rewinding stators for me and polishing metal etc etc)

I've been known to work for tobacco lol

haha me too, kinda..

man o man im about to throw my toys out of the cot aye. why the EFF can't I get a reading off the stator grr.. i just keep going to the blade and getting readings off that and then GN nothing at all..

am I wrong in thinking that regardless if the stator is good or fucked I should get SOME sort of reading right? either some crazy high or low AC voltage or some high resistance or some sort of resistance or even an Open Loop message? something surely?

I get nothing on the multi..

so gay, just wanna fix the bike for the mrs so she can enjoy it, only got to ride it for an hour n a bit before it died.

made another thread seeing if there are any other GN250's in dunedin on here on KB and maybe I can go over there and try my method on their stator n see if I get a reading.

so if anyone in dunedin has access to a running GN250 that I can probe with a multi, hit me a PM!!

You should get a reading, that's why I think you have a dead solder joint.
If you pull the stator cover off and have a peek you might see burnt shit or some fucked wire.

I'd check the stator, if it looked okay, I'd snip the wires to it and take a measurement. If it turns out okay, wire it straight to the reg/rec (it's what I've done with mine) so if it happens again you don't have to sift through the loom like a hobo in a maccas bin.
If you still get no reading, then I'd be inclined to say the stator is dead.
It could be as simple as a broken wire

yip got that already, cheers

its very useful if u can get a reading hehe.. it is a good chart tho but not helping at the mo with not getting readings off stator

yea guess I'll have to.. I didnt want to take sidecover off as I dont have another gasket etc..

low on funds at the moment, too many broken bikes sucking money

haha, yeee.. dunno bout wiring it straight to reg/rec.. I don't know fuck all about eletrical systems so wouldn't know what I was doing eh.

but something to look at another time maybe. gotta learn sometime.

but for now, not my bike, its a new bike for the mrs. just want it running so she can enjoy it and practice riding. it was supposed to have been a no fuss buy for a learner to turn key n go for many kms. I didnt read up about the GN's before which was stupid.. had I seen the common elec/charging faults they had I woulda been hesistant.

Fuck the gasket, use silicon!
The wiring is possibly the easiest job in the world, the three wires from the stator go to the three yellow ones on the reg/rec.

Or, kick the junker over and tell the woman to fix it after making you a sandwich

haha, - stand by for photos... everything looks mint all wires are good, contacts are good. no corrosion etc.. mmm
