    No need to think- get a cheap Shindengen now; you can always upgrade later!

      I used a 5 dollar Ebay Shindengen 232 and my charging system has been working great for a year.
      I just followed these instructions

        I like ZX shinnengen units

        I really like to use the late 80S and 90's kawasaki ZX series R&R - only thing to watch is the the amp hour of the system R&R comes from -- any thing with a Perment Magnetic System charging system and over a 14AH battery. -- it gets very-very hot if you use a EX 500 or CB650 or something smaller than the GS - well,they all get hot from gating EMF off to ground but smaller ones melt.

        the mount is common and plug in is very solid .. but it is a matter of preference.

            Three Shindengens have been tested by me and passed along- I'd guess they are hard to kill. I tortured one last summer with a bad stator and it didn't care. Make sure you have good connections and then TEST !

              I run a mid 2000's GSXR-600 R&R in any GS that needs a replacement. I paid $35 plus shipping. It was used out of a bike with less then 15k miles on it. It's meant for high draw for the GSX-R's are Fuel Infected. Over 22k miles and still counting on my GS 750 no issues with the R&R.

                okay so i received the shindengen the other day and went about diode testing it. its a 6 wire.

                please bare with me as im going off my confusing notes i took as i was going along.

                diode test to + RR output wire.

                + meter to + output - to stator wires

                no reading or 1 on my meter

                - meter to + output + to stator wires

                1. 561
                2. 544
                3.559

                diode test to - RR output wire.

                same as above when + - are reversed no reading to + +

                1. 548
                2. 556
                3. 558

                (this is what my meter reads out as on diode test which isnt the same as the stator papers where there is a decimal) these where done just with the RR alone no link to the bike(is that right?) do these check out?

                whats next to check on the RR? sorry for asking so many questions i did alot of research last night and my brain is melting from all this electrical stuff.

                thanks.

                  It's a miracle- those readings are good! Install on bike, make sure you have good direct(or almost) ground connection to battery negative and a good spot for sense wire. Review Basscliff's tips- no duct tape please!
                  Test before heading off into sunset and test again after a decent ride- after your stator heats up, cuz this is the best test!

                      You must have seen this simple test procedure courtesy of posplayr




                      After good ride, check voltages again; you might have to fiddle with sense wire location, but probably not.

                        okay one more thing, everyone says the black wire is the sense wire, and the green is ground. i could only get a reading off the black wire which is the same gauge as the positive. and what im guessing is the sense wire is the same gauge as the stator wires but its brown.

                        and im sure its not faded i cut away shrink wrap and the wires look the same where the wrap was... just cleaner.

                        can i get a reading off the sense wire like i posted above?

                          okay nevermind just looked it up, on kawi RR brown is sense and black is neg. got scared for a second there with everyone saying black is sense,

                            do i go off the orange wire coming out of the tail light switch for the sense wire?

                              okay got it all hooked up and everything seems good. rode around the block and the bike seems better then ever! i can finally ride again!

                              thank you guys so much i could never have done this with out GSR and you guys to help me out!

                                That's great but make sure you check things after a long ride! if the sense wire connection at brake switch "reads" too low a voltage, your battery might be being overcharged (> 15 volts)
