    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi guys ive been trying to find out which r/r to buy for my 86 gs 550esg but im now confused ive looked at ebay some say for ese or esf or es3 etc some say it will fit my esg but wires are different colors,the bikedoes not put over 12v ive tested the r/r with an ammeter and think its bad as one of the values 20k instead of 30k .can anyone help me out plz

THANKS!
 
Although the bike is not putting out over 12V, which might indicate an R/R problem, I'm not confident in numbers you are quoting, as you are not giving us units. Those 20k/30k numbers sound like resistance over the plug caps, not something you should be getting when testing the R/R.

Have you gone through the Quick Test and Stator Papers yet? Find Posplayr's posts on this.

Anyhow, to be more specific, you can ignore all of the letters that come after the "s". Those are model years, etc, and an R/R that fits one will fit them all. One or more of thoe designations might actually be the California models.

What you are looking for is an SH-775, costing around $65 + tax/shipping from a number of suppliers. Sometimes they pop up on EBay for about half that price. You could put in an FH-020 (also from Shindengen) but the general consensus is the shunt-type R/Rs are not as good a product as the series-type (e.g. SH-775).

A heads up...these R/Rs are quite a bit larger than the stock, and it is a VERY tight fit behind the battery box. Some modifications might be useful to prevent contact with the battery box.
