Fried Stator? Stator Interchangeability?

Thanks Cassius. I have been googling to locate the sh775 at the best price. I even ran across a place that was selling the connectors but they were $18...so it is getting up around a hundred dollars ..eek

I am glad I have another bike to ride and a battery charger as well because I may not pull the trigger on this yet.

The Polaris Dealer wants $81, and that seems to be the going rate for these new and improved RR's. I did notice that the Polaris Item number is also printed on the sh775 unit (part# 4012941) . Yamaha uses an RR with that number also... but don't know how to tell whether it is a fluke or possibly the same unit.

Those prices don't include shipping.

Thanks Cassius. Yes they are all about $80 either way, although no tax on line.

4014291 is the SH-775 unit. Hooray for Yamaha to have discovered it AND used it! Free shipping means that's a deal!

Thank you Tom, I thought that may be the case but wasn't 100% confident enough to order it.

I guess they may make this "version" for Yamaha since it doesn't mention sh775 and looks to be a different color.

I hope that was a transcribing error when you said the part# is 4014291 is the SH-775 unit.

since this unit for sale is #4012941..

[tom203]

Typo! 4012941 is the polaris part number which is the SH-775 unit.

I've found lots of those - fairly sure they're fakes, masquerading (without actually claiming to be) as series reg/recs. Internally MOSFET or SCR shunt types, in all likelihood. None of them ever show the blind end where the SH-775 would be printed, if they are genuine Shindengen.

Damn I hope you are wrong. If I wanted a shunt type they are a dime a dozen. I guess I should have waited to get more feedback because I already ordered it. If it isn't the right one I guess I hope I can return it.

So what are the numbers with the one you borrowed from the other bike???

[posplayr]

I would guess the eBay seller is just trying to attract buyers with key words and knows about the sh775 and is using the Polaris part number in his add.

It was just the OEM shunt style RR that is on my friends bike. I just tried it to make sure the RR was my issue. I also tested my stator and it was generating good voltage.

Exactly - "Regulator for Polaris XXXX" "Fits in place of XXX" - both perfectly true, at that.
You never see, "Fed up with your Polaris or Yamaha stator? Fit one of these and watch it fry!".

Creative mounting is key. I mounted a grapefruit sized R/R on the back of the 1150 battery box - it wouldn't fit underneath as the suspension is in the way. If you plan on riding in the rain, best practice dictates the connectors are on the bottom as to prevent them becoming o-ring "sealed"(haha) buckets for collecting water and debris.
