    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.

Anyone happen to know if a R/R off a 99 Kawasaki ninja 500 will work on an 82 GS850? Local guy has one for sale. I can't find the specs anywhere for the rr from the kz. Thanks!

Edit: I think this is the OEM part number. 21066-1030

After a little searching it looks like the 99 EX500 may have used the Shindengen SH530-12.

I don't know if that's right or if its compatible but that may help anyways.
 
I found another, non-OEM R/R for the 1999 500 Ninja that lists compatibility with the following Shindengan models:

SH530-12C
SH532-12

I had a look through the lists and I didn't see either of those associated with the GS850, so it doesn't look promising.
 
For my purposes it doesn't matter if the mounting holes don't match up as long as it can function properly for my bike.
 
Ask him for a part number. It will either be printed on the device or it will be on a glue-on sticker. Also ask him for the number of wires and the color of each.

Ask the seller if the numbers on R/R say something like SH-532___.
Shindengen made special size R/R's for Kawasaki (slighty smaller than Honda), I got one and I think it will work fine.
 
The 530 will work. It is listed as a Yamaha Seca 750 model in the list.
Also, my GPz uses a SH548-12, which is listed for a Suzuki model in Matchless' list. And my spare GS-compatible R/R worked fine on the GPz while I was searching for a replacement R/R. I would have kept it on but the mounting on the GPz is unique and the GS unit did not fit correctly.
The 532 is also listed as compatible.
 
You can also look up the stator of the donor bike. If it's a three-phase stator that pretty much looks like a GS stator (as is the case with the EX500), the R/R should work fine.
 
Thanks, guys. Now if I can just get this dude to call me back. haha.
 
I don't know what # it is but I am running a R/r off a 98 ex 500 ninja on my 1000 and it works fine
