There are a couple of schematics for this type of regulator, but they turn out to be a bit clumsy to assemble and prone to environmental attack, heat, water, mud etc.
I'm still looking for the designs. I'm guessing that none of these designs are encased in epoxy?
The best approach is to use the highest capacity (current & voltage limits) components you can fit into the housing and it should preferably have a transistor controlled the scr gate.
Do you have a modified parts list, and given the changes of zener from transitor are you accomplishing this by just having the tranny on flying leads?
The voltage should also be adjustable, allowing you to tweak it to whatever pickup point you are using for your monitor and all three phases should have an scr for regulation.
All in all, given the sensitivities the GS shunt regulator design has the large series load (i.e. the head lamp) helps divert power away from the regulator. With the direct phase connection to the headlight seems to be a good alternative to retain even with a new R/R. The headlight seems to be designed to handle the unregulated output and there is no danger if the filiment goes out; that phase just doesn't produce power. Regulating all three legs just puts a larger thermal demand on the regulator and if you power the head lamp from the regulated supply the shunt currents will have to go up if the head lamp burns out. Please explain if there is some other reason to regulate oll three legs of the stator; I dont see it.
The GS needs to always have the oil level at the top as low oil tends to allow more overheating of the stator during abnormal conditions.
I can see why. :?
Use a Dremel to cut out the epoxy that holds the old components and rebuild it in the same housing and reseal again with epoxy.
I already bought the Electrosport stator and R/R and will be comparing them to the OEM units. I'm diagnosing the wiring harness this morning. My bike has gotten hot in the past. It fried a ground strap but fortunately there was no catostophic burning in the rest of the harness.
I have fashioned some copper heat sinks made of 1" copper pipe. I'll post pictures once it is all sorted. The OEM R/R case mounting as far as thermal flow is concerned is "poor" at best. Same cound be said about the grounding. Using rubber mounts for grounds provide only the minimalist contact to ground.
