Thanks again Brian. I stripped my GL to the frame and motor this winter and went thur almost everything. Bike was not taken care of and from Oregon, so it had what I call 'Oregon Cancer'....then I discovered buffing. For all I know the stator may have been bad when I bought the bike. I'm bummed...

Thanks Brian. My GL1200 is a Standard. Just did the stator test and got very low readings and a zero on one wire. Bummer because the bike rocks...while running on the battery for 50 miles. Calling Ed's MC in Spokane tomorrow. In over my head to pull the engine.

Thanks Larry and I agree. Will do more testing today. Funny how love trumps cost. And I love this bike. Appreciate it mucho.

Fantastic Scott. Thanks for the info and links. Will test the stator today. Appreciate it mucho.

Greeting Brian and thanks for the reply. All lights work now OK. Big issue is running on the battery. Guess it's the alternator. Arrrrggg!

Greetings Larry. Great advice and links. Really appreciate it. Now I need to figure out why my GL1200 is running on the battery...and dying on my only two rides.

Greetings Ron and thanks for the info. I ended up not attaching the orange wire and my GL1200 runs great...until it dies. Appears to be running on the battery. Need to figure out how to check the alternator. Thanks again.

Greetings all and love the site. Spent the winter rebuilding a 1984 Honda GL1200 with Windjammer. Took everything apart - now all together but for an orange wire coming from the Jammer fairing harness. I remember, sort of, it connects to either the positive or negative terminal in the fuse box...
