    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.

Yes. You think correctly.

Good that you have a voltmeter, and are able to use it.

Before condemn the R/R check the r/r negitive lead is well grounded.
Check to see is about zero point zero volts (not the extra 3 volts) between r/r negitive and battery negitive.
Check to see is about zero point zero volts (not the extra 3 volts) between battery negitive and frame ground.
Oh wait, You did say r/r negitive was connected directly to battery negitive.... hum..... okay, yah, seems like the r/r is the main suspect here.

Still need to be concerened about running the bike with that high of voltage, concnerened about burning out other things like the ignitor (expensive). CAn run bike with R/R completly disconnected if want... just will not be charging battery.

No! that only kind of looks like a real SH-775. It is not. The real ones look like this and are usually dirty, like this.

So beware of what your are buying, make sure the one you're getting looks like this on the top fin.

The real ones ALWAYS have the white printing on the top like that picture. Member Nessism buys used ones, tests them and sells them at a very good value to members. hit him up and see if he has any currently.

Follow along with Jim (posplyr). He's the resident guru on the charging system.

Yes that looks the real deal not a bad price either, I along with quite a few have purchased off that dealer.
 
I ended up purchasing from Nessism. Cool guy despite his Tommy Gun.

Thanks again for all the help.
