Blowing Headlight bolbs

Status update

I did not get a chance to the the 5000 RPM test due to my neighbor having an outside wedding at their house and my water heater decided it did not want to cut off.

I did do a little rewiring and getting everything ready to test tomorrow. I need to find out if the fuse box is supposed to connect to both battery and the black/red wire of the RR?

The RR was going to the that loose battery bolt.


Thanks again,

Looks like you have a whole Bermuda Triangle thing going on at your place with various and assorted regulating devices

Okay, I finally got to do the test. At about 5000 RPM's the battery voltage measure on my volt meter at 17.25 with my meter setting on DCV 20.

I am thinking that is very high but let me know.

Thank you,

Too high by about 3 v. Your RR is not doing its job. Time for a new one, or and old SH775.

Found this on Amazon. Will this one work?

See Quick test in my signature; you failed!


See GS Stator for options on Series R/R's the leading candidate is the SH-775 unless we find out the Compufires can be had for under $40.

Yes. You think correctly.

Good that you have a voltmeter, and are able to use it.

Before condemn the R/R check the r/r negitive lead is well grounded.
Check to see is about zero point zero volts (not the extra 3 volts) between r/r negitive and battery negitive.
Check to see is about zero point zero volts (not the extra 3 volts) between battery negitive and frame ground.
Oh wait, You did say r/r negitive was connected directly to battery negitive.... hum..... okay, yah, seems like the r/r is the main suspect here.

Still need to be concerened about running the bike with that high of voltage, concnerened about burning out other things like the ignitor (expensive). CAn run bike with R/R completly disconnected if want... just will not be charging battery.

No! that only kind of looks like a real SH-775. It is not. The real ones look like this and are usually dirty, like this.

So beware of what your are buying, make sure the one you're getting looks like this on the top fin.

The real ones ALWAYS have the white printing on the top like that picture. Member Nessism buys used ones, tests them and sells them at a very good value to members. hit him up and see if he has any currently.

Follow along with Jim (posplyr). He's the resident guru on the charging system.

Yes that looks the real deal not a bad price either, I along with quite a few have purchased off that dealer.

Here’s another one

I ended up purchasing from Nessism. Cool guy despite his Tommy Gun.

Thanks again for all the help.

Cool guy because of the Tommy Gun.
