    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...

    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.

When I bought my new 'ride', the guy included a R/R from Shendgin (sp)..with 5 wires...green/white, red, yellow, white/blue... how can I bench test this to see if it's any good? It looks like new!!8-[ The number is SH590A-13...do I have a good one???
 
I don't think that model SDG will work. It might, but I'd be carefull using it. It is designed to work with the field coil style stators Honda used. The stators had electromagnets or something like that.

If you need an RR I can help you out for 40 bucks.
 
You only list four wires above. Any 3-phase regulator will work. Is there a black wire on yours? What's the Part number (Starts with "SH")
 
You only listed four wires.

OOOOOOOPS! The 5th wire is the shorter black/white ground wire.:oops:

The product number is SH590A-13 and it looks to be almost brand new.

EDIT: I did some searching and found that it's for all the large GS's!! The stock number is 32800-49X50 (I guess I made out pretty well!)

There are 3 wires on a Honda regulator, 3 for the stator, 1 for ground and 1 to sense the actual voltage being put out to the system to charge the battery, Ted
 
Those looked like Suzuki color codes, that's why I asked.

Here's most MC rectifier/regulator wiring:

Three wires (Harley Generator)
- 2x generator field coils
- 1x batt +

Three wires (BMW/Guzzi Alternator):
- 1x alternator output
- 1x batt +
- 1x batt -

Four wires (two phase permanent magnet Alternator - Old Honda/British):
- 2x stator coils
- 1x batt +
- 1x batt -

Five wires (three phase permanent magnet Alternator - including all GS):
- 3x stator coils
- 1x batt +
- 1x batt -

Six wires (three phase permanent magnet Alternator - Some Honda):
- 3x stator coils
- 1x batt +
- 1x batt -
- 1x voltage sense

Seven wires (three phase permanent magnet Alternator - Some newer Honda):
- 3x stator coils
- 2x batt +
- 2x batt -

That should about cover it. There are some oddballs like Goldwings, but I think they're like BMWs and Guzzis with an alternator.
