    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.

In the specs for the new 2014 VStrom 1000

Performance-Enhancing Electrics
A newly designed, open-type rectifier disconnects the magneto when it is not generating electricity. Plus, the magneto is more efficient than that of the previous V-Strom 1000. These two advances reduce mechanical losses, resulting in stronger torque at low and mid-range engine speeds ....

It certainly looks like a Shindengen device - no part number information at this time. It is possibly not too far a reach to speculate this could be one of the two 50A Series Regulators that they had listed as "in development"?

Most definitely a Shindengen. I suspect series type R/R's will become the norm at some point in the future.

You absolutely KNOW that to be the case? Or (like me) speculating the likelihood?
Until I actually see the designation stamp I hesitate to use words like "definitely".

However, when you look at the specs for the SHxx1 dimensionally, comparing the two images (using just the connectors as a scale reference) it would appear to fit that envelope ......
Slightly wider and longer (just counting the number of heatsink fins)

Of course even if by Shindengen the released product might not even match either of the SHxx1 or SHxx2 development envelopes anyway!

Oh yes, most definitely. Jacques Shindengen is my uncle and he called to tell me about the contract he received to supply the R/R on the V-strom.:p

Maybe he can hook us up with a few dozen, for test purposes only of course?
