      A clamp-on ammeter tells the story. A shunt r/r will divert the current back into the windings and the overall current reading remains the same. A series one will simply stop the output dead when loads are satisfied (very fast stop/start) and this leads to a lower overall current reading, as none is being shunted back.

        so I pulled the trigger on an SH775 OEM unit from polaris. Along with another new stater. Now I've been trying to dig around to find a wiring diagram for installing this upgrade. Anybody have a lead on an easy to read diagram?

          It's so easy, (skip the caveman jokes) you don't even need a diagram.

          - Install new stator.
          - Remove current R/R, note the location of the red output wire.
          - Install new R/R. I don't know exactly where yours is, you might have to get 'creative'.
          - One of the connectors on the new R/R has three pins, the other connector has two. Connect the three stator wires directly to the three pins.
          - In the connector with just two pins, the one closer to the stator inputs is the positive. Connect that to the red wire that was connected to the old R/R.
          - Connect the remaining terminal to a good ground. If you are using a Single Point Ground, put it there.
          - Get out your voltmeter, fire up the bike, verify everything is working properly.

            Steve and I confirmed tonight that the R/R from DB Electric is NOT a Series model; I would recommend not getting it.
