Common Technical Issues: HONDA GL1200 SEI/LTD Goldwing

BRAND: HONDA
MODEL: GL1200 SEI/LTD Goldwing
YEARS: 85-87
CATEGORY: MOTORCYCLE

TECHNICAL ISSUE DETAILS
These GL1100 Goldwings all have a permanent magnet battery charging system, consisting of a stator with three output wires, which feed into a regulator/rectifier. This unit rectifies the AC into DC and regulates this DC to 14.5V to ensure proper battery charging. The output from the regulator/rectifier connects to the battery through a main fuse. Common faults in this system: 1) Regulator/rectifier failure. The OEM regulator/rectifier is a commonly failing part. (Our new regulator/rectifier has been completely redesigned with a super heavy duty rectifier bridge.) 2) Stator failure. The stator fails regularly. Causes are age, heat and vibration. Test and replace when it tests bad. DIAGNOSE THE STATOR PROPERLY, REPLACING IT MEANS REMOVING THE ENGINE. 3) Bad connections in the system. Check all connections between stator and regulator/rectifier (ENSURE YOU CHECK THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGS THE STATOR INTO THE WIRING LOOM, RIGHT BEHIND THE ENGINE IN FRONT OF THE REAR WHEEL) Also check every connection between regulator/rectifier and battery. Make sure all connections are clean and good. These bikes are fairly old now and will need serious attention given to the electrical connections. We recommend using the fault finding chart. This guide will help you diagnose the charging system quickly.
