Which Eurosport regulator do I need ?

[bccap]

1983 GS750E. I am a little confused by the wording on the web site. Is anybody familiar with these regulators on this bike ? One of the following two I think ?

The second link.The first one is for the earlier 750 engines.

I wouldn't use either of those.

There is a long thread by Matchless where he details which bikes came with the more desirable OE R/R units. The FET ones are best in this regards. You can find used ones off ebay for less than those lower quality units.

EDIT: these are not FET but still a good units (better than those Electrosport jobbies)... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/01-02...#ht_500wt_1182

Checked out both links you sent me and they don't ship to us foreigners. What is wrong with Eurosport ? They what are recommended in the Stator papers.

Those Electrosport units are generic Chinese parts. Nothing wrong with them per say but I'd rather have a Japanese Shindengen...for less money. http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=134690

Hi,

Get a good part for your bike. You'll find a copy of Matchless' list of compatible r/r units in the electrical section of my little website.

The Electrosport r/r units are very similar to the underperforming original units. Buy a good used Shindengen unit from a reputable Ebay seller.

Electrosport used to sponsor this site but is no longer.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

You can get a better unit but thesre's not much space on these bikes to get it in.Have a FH009AA on mine:





It is jammed in there.Works great but is it tight!.Suzi one is so small it's no wonder the burn out.

So you guys are saying the only reason they were recommended was because they were sponsors ? Or possibly not recommended because they are not sponsors anymore ? Do you know people who have had bad experiences with these regulators ? I have looked at Matchless list. What I really want is a good quality part, that is plug and play. Chinese manufacture has come along way in quality control and they do make some fine products. I am unwilling to write them off unless somebody { more than one } has had bad experiences with them. Is the following statement a lie ?

The Stator Papers III

The Solution

By Peter Huppertz
(with modifications by the current editors)

For years on end, I have been moaning about the Stator problems associated with the Suzuki GS's. For two years I've been shouting about a good replacement rectifier/regulator unit available in Europe, and NOT in the US.
But lo and behold! it's official! the superior ElectroSport Industries unit is now available in the US as well! Read on...
The improved regulator/rectifier is manufactured specifically by ElectroSport Industries.
The ElectroSport Industries units are redesigned to fix the problems found with the stock units. The prices for their units are considerable less than the price for Suzuki replacements.
I have two GS's... consequently, I have TWO of these units. I can personally vouch for their quality.

Just checked out Compufire's website and read the link you sent. Sounds great. I just can't figure out which one I need for my 83 gs750e. And will it fit without making an adapter ?

[Nessism]

None of these units we are recommending are "plug and play" for that bike. The '83 R/R has somewhat unusual electrical connectors, which while easily adapted, it's not just a plug-in affair. And speaking of that, you shouldn't be looking for "plug and play". The factory wiring should be improved by wiring the stator direct to the R/R anyway as detailed in countless threads here on the site. If you want the charging system to be durable then more work needs to be done so you may as well get a Shindengen or Compufire and do the job right.

[850 Combat]

Consider cutting the plug off the dead one and soldering it on to the new R/R. i did that to put a Honda R/R on an '82. No biggy. In retrospect, I probably should have eliminated the plug and hard wired/ soldered/shrinked the wiring directly I supose, but it is still working for the new owner for the last few years.

I had already connected the stator wires directly to the stock R/R.Was going to cut them and put new spades on.Looked in the stock connector,spades in there.cut them out of there and plug them in.Worked for me.

Hi,

Have a look at these:

I just installed my own blade connectors and wired in my replacement r/r unit.
Regulator/Rectifier Replacement

This is a guide from Mr. duaneage himself, showing us how to wire a Honda r/r unit to be "plug-n-play".
Modifying a Honda R/R for GS Use

CLICK HERE and look at the bottom of the page for a list of compatible FET regulator/rectifiers for the GS bikes.(Thanks Matchless!)

Buy an Electrosport unit if you want. You'll be buying another soon.


Thank you for your indulgence,
