How does this happen?

If it were real, then the part number wouldn't be just SH775. It would have a BA or BB after that.

Yes it would but that part seems to have no bearing on the R/R being SERIES or not.

Dear posplayr,

All of our parts are brand new aftermarket parts. This isn't an OEM SH775.
Thanks, DB Electrical

I suspect they will not change their add so you know these are MOSFET replacements not SH-775 as the seller even admitted.

Interesting.
When I was sold the bike I was told it didnt charge the battery because of the RR being bad. It was an OEM RR from what I could tell. At least it looked old as the hills. However the cover on the Stator appears to have been removed at one point or another because the screws have just the tinsiest bit of stripping. Nothing to cause any problems unscrewing them, but certainly noticeable.

So, I since replaced the RR. It has a sticker on the side that says "RR2"...Not sure what that even means. It was cheap off ebay...
Could the bad RR have immediately burned up the stator?
In my previous go through of the electrical system, I noticed that one of the stator wires was plugged into something other than the RR...I still haven't figure out what that was. I guess it could be the reason only a few of the cells are burned up?

Also fyi the battery is new and I regrounded everything and sanded all contact points on the entire system.

Did you ever consider doing a Quick Test?

By the way the stator is from a company called "Caltric" out of California.
I went ahead and ordered a used one from Cannibal Cycle which appeared in good condition. Almost like new.
Caltric verified that they indeed messed up and are sending another replacement. I figure between the two I'll get the right one and have another on hand for...idk...maybe selling or using if the new stator is bunk from one or the other.

yup, quick test and a full go through of the stator pages was done. the results pointed to the stator. i will note though, this was after a lot of running the engine and riding with it plugged in wrong.

But obviously I did the test after plugging it in right and changing all the grounds and cleaning the connections.

If you would report on your 6 numbers for the Quick Test we might be able to offer some help.

Will report back tomorrow with exact numbers

Ran into some delays (girlfriend related XD) on testing the charging system but will test tonight when I get home from work. I received my new stator today. Looks exactly the same as the presumed bad one, however with one difference.

It has three wires coming out (normal) and two of the female connections are the right ones to fit the RR male bullet style wires. The third however, appears to accommodate two male connections. I'm incredibly confused. Will it matter if nothing is plugged into the other side of the third connection? Can post picture later for clarification.

I've hear something about some stators having a 4th series for some non-vital purpose. Could this be what this is?

I have seen stators coming with an extra wire. It is probably for a headlamp cutout. The newer bikes have circuity to not power the headlamp unless there is AC coming out of the stator.

I also cut those connectors off and solder the wires directly to whatever you have coming from the R/R.

Definitely planning on soldering once I get this charging issue put to rest. However, this stator came off the same bike as mine but with only about 5000 miles. So the weirdest part is that its not off a new bike. However it could have been aftermarket to begin with made recently so who knows. The mystery continues.

Quick test results are in:

1. 13.22
2. 12.07
3. 12.1
4. 12.11
5. 12.09
6. 12.5 initially then rises gradually.

Absolutely no charging, with good battery. I guess that's why you bought the stator. It is probably the problem, you might do the Leg to Ground tests at 5K RPM (they are most reliable) to see if there is a short which is most likely. Except I see you have a 550. You sure you have the correct number of poles. IIRC the old were 16 pole and the new 18 pole. Maybe someone can chime in on the count.
