What kind of stator does a Honda Goldwing use?
Upgraded, heavy-duty high quality stator that replaces the OEM stator in the Honda Goldwing 1000, 1100 and 1200 (non-fuel injected) models. Designed with a new type of stator core that offers very low magnetic resistance.
Where is the alternator on a GL1000?
The GL1000s have a 3-phase-AC-generator located on the left side of the engine above the clutch in the rear engine cover. The alternator is maintenance-free, You would have to pull the engine to get access to it. It consists of a stator with 18 coils and a rotor with six magnets.
How many volts does a Goldwing car battery have?
Like almost any automotive battery, the GoldWing battery has 6 cells, typical voltage 12V. A good charging system supplies a maximal voltage of 14.4 Volts (6 x 2.4 V).
How does the Honda GL1000 charger system work?
There are cheaper ones with only three diodes, but these are not used in GoldWings. The more load you put on a generator, the more its output voltage collapses. Honda engineers put a variable load in the shape of a regulator on one coil of the stator. This regulator shunts current to the ground, thus simulating heavy load.

Are there any problems with the Honda Gold Wing?
It was frequently named the best touring bike in its time and still ranks as a bargain classic today. Some suffered from faulty stators, while others’ charging issues were traced to overheating of the stator wiring harness.
When did the Honda GL1200 go out of production?
A: Honda made the GL1200 from 1984 to ’88 in several trim levels. It was frequently named the best touring bike in its time and still ranks as a bargain classic today. Some suffered from faulty stators, while others’ charging issues were traced to overheating of the stator wiring harness.
What to do if your Honda stator has connector burnout?
The workaround for connector burnout is to toss the connectors and solder the wires together in a staggered formation so no two solder joints adjoin. Have a look at the connector block on your brother’s bike.
What causes Honda Gold Wing stator to burn out?
Q: My brother-in-law has a 1985 Honda GL1200 Gold Wing that’s been sitting in his garage for years. He used to ride it a lot, but one day the battery died. He replaced it and the new one died too. After awhile he heard about an issue with GL1200s that makes them burn out the stator. Replacing it involves removing the engine, so he parked it.
When did the Honda GL1200 stator come out?
In 1997, I had a customer purchase a 1985 Honda GL1200 LTD. He had done a great deal of research on the Internet in regards to the bike and it’s potential problem areas. Of course, the stator was #1 on the list.
What are the problems with Honda GL1200 stator coil charge harness?
Here are the problems I found with the unit: 1. The harness itself was very poorly built. 2. The gauge of wire on several legs was too small. 3. There were redundant connections. 4. The coils were being powered constantly, even with the key off. 5. Power for the coil wires was not fuse protected.
