    Quick question about SH775

    My regulator went and I ended up having to go to a Polaris dealer since I was out in the middle of nowhere at the time and couldn't manage to get a lower priced seller to ship to a general delivery address. Anyhow, it's a real deal SH775 and is marked SH775BA. Everything works as it should but as I was looking up the battery I decided to check to see if there was any draw, it measured 1.15v between the negative battery terminal and the end of the ground cable, couldn't get it to read anything amp wise. Hopefully I'm just being a bit too picky here, if anyone has any insight please advise!

    Stay calm...you bought it from a polaris dealer,so it must be a genuine sh-775. (Unless it was in the chicago area).

      Did you test your old one to see if it showed any draw?

        No, I didn't. Seemed to me I saw something once about regulators that caused a draw so I gave it a shot.

          If the wire is disconnected there is no "draw" (ie. current). If you connect it to ground, there will be no voltage (but then maybe some "draw").
