    Thanks!!

    So if my ignitor goes, am I SOL? I see they go for $100+ used. It would be nice if there was something aftermarket.

      I think this model ignitor is tough,so yours is probably good, but worst case scenario, get a dyna ignition setup as replacement. If you determine you have ignitor problem. let me know- I have two spares as insurance backup.
      Seriously, dump that midget R/R- it's undersized for heat sinking.

        Sorry to ask questions that have been answered already, but what would be the best cheapest option to go with? SH232? SH541? FH008EB?

        Thanks for all of the help.

          Many to choose from on ebay; I use a sh-232 - here is an an example
          ebay item # 160936862360
          a sh-532, probably could be had for $20 shipped

            Alright, so I've spent all day reading about this stuff. It looks like I can get a FH009 pretty cheap (taking the advice of a previous poster), and coupled with the Furukawa connectors either from Eastern Beaver or Ebay, it seems like this would be a pretty solid setup (don't even need to bother with a sense wire either). How come it seems that no one discusses the cheaper FH009, and that it's not listed in the first post?

              Have a FH009 in my 750,works great.Stock one is the same one JonnyC has in his picture.They still come up cheap on eBay but people have figured out there's a demand so prices have gone up.If you can get it cheap go for it Jonny.

              Stock placement on the 750 is a little tightwith the FH so can't use those connectors.Would if I could!

                Thanks guys. I bought one for $30 shipped. Hopefully it's in working order! I'm excited to rewire my bike from scratch and do it right.

                    I figured out i could buy separately for cheaper. I bought the connectors from him, and it took ages to get to me. Bought wire and the fuse locally and got the reg/rec from someone else

                      Has anyone used an RR from an SV650? (FI model)

                      Comment


                        The SV R/R has the same problems as the GS ones.

                          Post a picture of the one.
                          If it is the type that uses the bike frame as a heatsink, then avoid it.

                            If you are considering a new R/R of that size and price, why not do yourself (and your bike) a favor?

                            The R/R for a 2011 Polaris Ranger is the same size and wiring, but is a SERIES regulator, like the Compufire, and is available BRAND-NEW for less than $68 (plus shipping, of course.

                                Not sure if it's on the list, but a Shingenden sh232-12 9.0 from a Honda CM400 works beautifully.
