got a used polaris regulator(correct one and all) and compared it to the old regulator, didnt realise how different they are, how is the polaris one fitted to the wires here?

You got a sh775?
There should be three terminals for the three stator phase inputs, any order you like.
The other pair are the positive supply to the bike main harness and a ground.
Someone posted a picture but I can't seem to find it right now.
 
Are you doing it right? Only if you stay away from the item in your lower picture.
That is your ignitor, not your regulator.

The upper picture is your R/R (rectifier/regulator). Those wires go a few inches to some connectors where you can remove your stock R/R. Mount the new unit (picture?) wherever it will fit, then run the three yellow wires (they will likely be other colors on the other side of the connectors) to the three terminals that are grouped together in the R/R. In the other connector on the R/R, the one closer to the inputs is the output. Connect that to the same red wire that your current R/R is connected to, connect the outer terminal to ground.

Very true ... at this point in time. :-k

Depending on how much traffic this section gets in the next 24 hours, that same thread that is "just a few threads down" might be a few threads UP or even a couple of PAGES down. Very good that you posted the link, it will always find it. :encouragement:

Yeah thought that the right piece was the regulator but the size difference was so vast I was like maybe the whole thing is the regulator.

okay so i have this, and that helps A BUNCH, but where would i get something like this for the headlight loop?

What exactly do you mean?

if you connect it as the diagram describes and you have the headlamp loop you will be left with two wires not used tape them up and tuck them away the are no longer used.

I'm still not exactly sure which wire is the loop..... the red and white one?

I have the stator now hooked up to the sh775 and now I have the black and white wire (grounds to bolt under battery), a red wire (was on original r/r) and a red and white wire (think red splits into a red and then a red and white wire )

Edit: and the white and green wire

Go back, read post #3 and the link in post #4.

Do you have three wires coming out of your stator?

Do you have three inputs on your R/R?

CONNECT THEM. Do not pass GO, do not collect $200. Do not connect the stator wires to ANYTHING ELSE in the wiring harness, CONNECT THEM DIRECTLY TO THE R/R.

It does not matter what color(s) is the headlight loop, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CONNECT TO IT.

It does not matter if your stator has three different color wires or if they are all the same. Extend them if you have to, but CONNECT THEM DIRECTLY TO THE R/R.

I did in asking which wires am I leaving alone the red and white and then the green and white?
 
My stator wires inside the stator cover dont have to be completely covered with the wrap the 3 wires are inside of right?

Wires aren't exposed I'm talking about the wrap that cages the three stator wires with eachother

No need for wrap....just make sure the three stator wires are secured to stator cover..especially where they exit ....no pinching wires here!
 
Sorry to be back on this post, but I finished the whole replacing and deleting wires procedure, smooth sailing for me.
I do have a new question now and I cant make a new post so I was just gonna ask on here; my neutral light is gone! I'm pretty sure none of this procedure is the reason and I did mess with 2 things beforehand that could've possibly caused my neutral light to dissapear.

1) replaced clutch switch bit ( the little spring block) , the little spring loaded reactor piece was lost and never found when I took the clutch switch wire off and luckily I had a brand new one that was for the brake switch, but they were the same seed number.

2) pin and gear starter idle are out of place. When putting my stator cover back on I was having a bit of trouble so I'd be pulling it back making sure its lining up, one of the times I pulled it back the pin and gear came out, I just pushed it back in but i dont know if it's supposed to be properly aligned so it may be sitting wrong.

I've checked wire connections and such so if it's not the pin and gear maybe I'll check the plate piece for the clutch switch assembly and see if the wires that are connected to that are secure. (Checked connections in headlamp and such)
