Series Regulator Source SH775

[Chuck78]

I wonder how much success one could have coating the insides of the terminal area with dielectrode grease very lightly, installing wires & spade connectors with a clean outside surface, & then pouring in rtv or a similar silicone type product - to have a removeable plug?

[Chuck78]

I will be eagerly awaiting to hear how this works for you! I'm ready to swap one on my 77 gs750 asap & even more so on my wife's 77 GS550B that charges with a max output of 11.9 volts & has a pesky intermittent misfire problem!

Female spade connectors fit right in. You would just need to fill the cavity with some electrical RTV/Silicone.

You can purchase plugs and or a full harness from http://www.easternbeaver.com/Main/El...onnectors.html

or from numerous other sources. Ebay has a seller of connectors too. Maybe able to find them cheaper.

I am going the route of making my own wires (since I have a whole electrical connection kit) and filling the cavity with RTV.

What do you do for wiring connections to these? Will a female bullet connector just plug in? Or is there any source from electronics catalogs for plugs that fit these?

Very anxious to hear about how these install and function, as my budget cannot afford a Compufire or CE-600/601/602 etc

Looks like PosPlayer (Jim Moore) found that the alternator windings saturate at 27A @ approximately 3000rpm, by which time you should have more than the 1m/s (2.2mph)airflow required to keep things happy. Unless you are holding your revs at 3000 or more at a standstill in which case you get what you deserve.

14amp with no cooling might be tight but I think it should be ok.... The 27 or 35 amp should be enough for sure.

Usually there is a margin of safety built into the figures and my bike is rarely running stood still (plus I wonder if the stator can supply 14amp at idle in any case)

I've read of others using the 35A shunt shindengens without issue (even installed one on my 1000g for its next owner...

One question: Does that SH775 have enough current capacity?

The regulator info is linked off of the shindengen America site.

Yep.

I'd still be willing to send one to Jim for testing.

Now that would seem to be pretty definitive source.

I've got 2 of them on hand. Would be happy to send one to somebody with the right equipment to test.

I'm thinking Jim (Posplayr) would be the one that would be best equipped to handle that as He has a D.S.O. (digital storage...)

That's a parts catalogue. Trust me, they have been known to be wrong on quite a few occasions.

Possibly someone who has a storage O-scope could post up some wave forms to see if in fact it really is a series regulator? I for one would like to use it on my 78 if it really is a series reg.

[niclpnut]

Just from the link provided. And the part number. Says it's Series.
