EBay Alert SH775 Regulator, reasonable so far

[robertbarr]

For anyone looking for the series regulator that we've all been arguing about, I thought it was worth a post.


This is currently (pun intended) $24.99 w/$16 shipping. It's not a BIN auction, it's a regular (whatever the term is -- you bid high enough, you win) auction.

There used to be a BIN auction for the same price -- except some scumbag with the ebay name of 'robertbarr' snapped it up. Man, some people.

lol You should see the price to Canada

$99

Thanks for the heads-up, but I do believe that I would rather pay about double the price and get a NEW unit.

And as an update to my update, it's been relisted in a BIN auction.

I bought an identical unit from the same firm. They seem to find these by the boatload. Who's wrecking all these RZR's?

Have you tried yours yet? maybe these things get cooked in the Arizona heat- it's only rated for 35 amps with decent airflow.

These are un-tested, as-is, where-is. IMHO, why risk your $100+ stator acting as a fuse if that bargain R/R is defective?

Low risk. Shindengen R/R's almost never fail. I'm tempted to buy this one myself just to play with.

Because the guy does FedEx

I'm tempted too, but shipping charge is too much my way. But I'm surprised these big ATV's don't come with a real alternator

SH-775 results seem to be confirmed it is a SERIES R/R and the R/R of choice for all 3 Phase PM charging systems which includes almost all GS charging system.

Results discussion.

Pardon my ignorance, but I have already installed the Honda r/r. Is this a better option? Worth doing it?

I've been happy with my CF55402.

I don't think there is any question that the Compu-Fire 55402 is excellent, but it's hard to beat $62.00 and change for the SH-775/Polaris 4012941. Unless I hear of any failures, I'll use the SH-775 om my Son's bike when we get around to getting it ready for the road.

The problem with getting one is you will not get as much practice swapping out stators.

The Honda R/R's were the R/R of choice because they were so much more reliable than the stock Suzuki R/R's, but there is still stator problems out there with every PM three phase charging system that uses shunt type R/R's just because of the way they work. There is no doubt the series R/R is better because it switches on and off instead or dogging the stator 24/7. There were a lot of miles ridden with the type R/R you now have. Should you replace it, that would be up to you, but I will bet the shunt R/R will eventually fade out as the series R/R proves reliability and only time will provide that track record. We saw a dramatic price reduction from the Compu-Fire 55402 ($155.00 now) to the SH-775/Polaris 4012941 ($63.00) It looks promising though and we should see more coming on the market. I have over 10,000 miles on mine at this point.
