I need a little advice on R&Rs, as well as any insights into correcting an electrical problem. In previous posts, I mentioned that power suddenly cut out when I turned the ignition switch. Later, I discovered that one of the coils smoked and was apparently burned out. Replace the coil, although it took some time to figure out which was the positive and negative terminals. Battery won't charge, so will need to replace.
Fired up the bike two weekends ago (been traveling in between). Testing voltage to the battery showed 18 volts. Bad! I had previously replaced the original malfunctioning R&R with a used SH532 from a Honda. Seems like that is now also shot.
Did a google search for a SH775, and noticed that one of the links took me to ebay for Polaris Ranger regulators. Is the latter an OEM version of the SH775? Does anyone have experience putting the SH775 or the Polaris into a GS450GA?
I am also considering the SSPB but not sure if I want to spend a whole lot on the bike because of limited resources. I have another bike (and a minivan).
Are there other electrical things I should check while I am working on the current problem? Is it just a bad R&R, or some other thing that is causing the problems?
Thanks in advance.
