GS1000G R/R replaced with ZZR600 Unit

[Johno]

My R/R was replaced about 18 months ago and so I decided to find out it's origin.

The unit has SH 658-12 stamped on it so I Googled the number.

Appears to be a Kawasaki ZZR600 (GPZ600) unit.

Does anyone have experience with these or have information on their suitability?

Thanks in advance.

I put a GPz-750 (non turbo) R\R in a ZZR-600 and it worked flawlessly. btw these were Aussie models

It's been in your bike for about a year and a half, it's been working fine, and now you want to know if it's working?



But seriously, Shindengen makes very high quality components, and pretty much any R/R designed for a 3-phase permanent magnet system will work on a GS.

As far as capacity, it's not worth worrying about on a GS -- they're at the low end for the amount of current they can generate. My GS850 has a unit from a Honda CM400.

Some models, like the Honda Sabre/Magna or older Gold Wings, had higher-capacity R/Rs that work very well on a GS, and never even feel warm.
