How does a motorcycle charging system work?

The charging system consists of three main components: the battery, alternator, and the regulator/rectifier. Your motorcycle battery stores electrical energy for use and acts as a buffer for the bike’s electrical system. The alternator creates alternating currents to run the bike and charge the battery.

How does a stator charging system work?

The stator is the coil of wire housed inside the engine case. A magnet on a shaft spins within the stator, creating alternating current (AC). That current travels along fairly heavy gauge wire through the case and into the rectifier/regulator which converts it to DC power, and at a consistent output.

What are the most common problems with the GS500?

I sat down on a brand new one at the dealership (and a ninja, and a Katana, and an SV640, and a GSX-R600 to humor the salesman) I liked the way the Ninja felt because it sat lower, all the other ones just intimidated the hell out of me, but sitting down on the GS I felt like the two of us could have some exciting times ahead.

Is the GS500 a good bike to buy?

The GS is one of the most reliable least maintenance required bikes and thus one of the most loved. Dollar for mile you can’t go wrong. These bikes are so inexpensive and so trustworthy. Few bikes can offer such cheap thrills. Parts are easy to find also.

What to do if your GS500 tank leaks?

Tank sealant covers surface rust and arrests the rusting process before it becomes terminal. Ie, you shine a flaslhight in your tank and it looks rusty. If your tank leaks, I would not bet on it. Of course you have to do it right, else it is a worse problem than you started with.

POR-15 is the other tank sealant. Most prefer this one over Kreem. Check the oil on a regular basis. Air cooled engines use more oil. Common sense in not very common.
