What posplayr is telling you is that your new Rick's R/R is considerably less than what should be used. It is just a newer version of the stock R/R that obviously failed. It is typical of the type that will continue to force the stator to put out full current all the time, and waste any excess to control the voltage.

A better replacement is found on Polaris ATVs. It is made by Shindengen, model SH775. The Polaris part number is 4012941. Prices for a new one have been around $90, but some have reported increases lately. Used ones can be found on eBay for about $45, but you have to be careful what you get there, some are advertising as "Fits Polaris ...", but it is not the same item.

What you got is what you asked for. You signed on (this is your second post), and asked about the laziest question possible. You have apparently spent zero time looking of researching and just want the simplest answer. Well you got one.

I know Steve is well intentioned, but I doubt with your attention span you can even get to the end of his post.
