    Yes, that is an updated unit that uses FET transisitors to do the switching for the regulator. Should work just fine, just make sure you have good, solid connections to your power wire and ground.

        Thats one of the best to replace it with if I'm not mistaken, a 50amp model, usually expensive even used.

          I am not sure I'll have to look at what we got but I believe that is also the recomended regulator to use with the Shorie Batteries. They say some of the older style regulators over heat the Lithium batteries and that is when they have the fires. We'll be some of the first to know.

            I believe its also only a 5 wire, no sense wire either, and you'll need to use spade connectors unless you get a piece of the original harness thats from a R1 Yamaha, maybe some FJR's, I've got a 40 amp FH-008EB with pigtails coming, these show up on ebay more frequently for less $$$ than the 12AA.

              I've been concerned that these newer FET's were better off with some newer stator designs, My son's 2007 ninja came with the good old SH style R/R, use since late seventies. Besides, the FH R/R's are expensive compared to the older SH units. A 1980 Shindengen R/R works fine with a 200 watt charging system - runs cool and very stable above idle.

                My r/r went bad last summer. I installed the Shindengen and it's been perfect ever since. The most important thing about any r/r is making sure that the connection between the stator and the r/r is solid and not corroded in any way. This requires a good installation and regular maintenance if you have a block connector, but only good installation if you solder the wires together.
