Bogging down gsx250e after a mile always and stops

This is almost guaranteed to not be a genuine Shindengen SH775, but a knock-off Shunt type, no better that what you have now.

The RR from Electrex won't be a series type, guaranteed.
Best source for them now is used from ebay.com. We used to be able to buy them brand new from Polaris dealers in Europe, but Polaris wised up and put the price up to a stupid level.
However, there are still plenty used ones on ebay.com US, and these things almost never fail, so it's a fairly safe purchase.
Ignore the new ones for 20 or 40 quid, they're nasty fakes, designed to trap the unwary, just like that Elextrex one.

Here's a genuine one...
https://www.ebay.com/itm/392496482363 just as a sample, there are plenty others. Look for the SH-775 on the end view. The real ones are distinctive. Root around ebay.com for Polaris Ranger or SeaDoo rectifiers for the same type. If you're lucky you'll find one a fair bit cheaper and low-price shipping, too.

would they be reasonably legit? I suppose no one can't tell.

q) assume I drank 10 speckled hens, and bought a wemoto RR for my GSX.
How long do they last before this issue arrives?

I am thinking the gsx can suffer a bit as j had to push it miles. the gs however (the one I rode round Europe 5000 miles and you guys saved me when I broke down in Amsterdam) could have a new series one. I might if they fit swap for the gs one.

As an aside, you can prep both bikes to use the new reg rect thus halving the expense. I know if I had a crazy number of Suzukis c. 1980 Id do it.
Yah cant ride em both at the same time and no sane person lets anyone else ride their bike.

.

Both cheap knock-off copies from China, and neither of them are series.

Now good old m&b

[Rich82GS750TZ]

No, and no. Both fakes

[ukjules]

OK. I can't clearly tell the difference.
Plan:
do a proper test with my gs RR on gsx whilst looking for a perfecto series RR. Do this with one eye on wiring and locating and connectioning that they share the one working RR. (no.more use of elec tape and use proper shielding for speed of swapping)

I must refrain from having 3 perfectly running bikes for a while. Shame as the GSX liked doing the shopping. The RD now will have to do that for a while.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

The first thing to look for is this white printing on the top fin. If it don't have it, it ain't genuine.


Could read SH775AA or SH775BA, they are the same.

Here's a video that explains more.

[ukjules]

Superb video and I can see every one I ha e favoured in ebay is a fake !
Hell they are like Mars rocks found on earth .... (rare)

[salty_monk]

They are also sold on the RZR. Easier to get one shipped from the US if you can wait....

[ukjules]

waiting no longer an issue, so will look into.

RZR ?

[ukjules]

Q) A side question.
how long do normal RR's (an RR from a reputable dealer ) last ?
I am sure my GS one is from Wemoto (they are good for parts). I am sure 3 years old maybe and OK...... as far as I can see. 45£ I am sure it was.

How long has anyone on here had a bog standard one on their bike ?
- how long do they last ? 4 years but I suppose they eat batteries

[ukjules]

I continue the quest.
What do you guys think about this option from USA ? (I am in UK)

https://rmstator.com/en_ca/rms020-106974

I am in comms with them and they have a UK distributor.

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Drilling down the details, they both claim to be Series,as opposed to Shunt, R/R's, and that is what you want. But they are definitely not genuine Shindengen SH775. They just have the same form factor/connections.
