Wrong colors but the loop is there
odd place to put that on the frame spine

This is the exact reason the veteran GSR'ers tell everyone to eliminate the "stator loop". And install a SH775 while you are at it.

Maybe. They don’t seem to have as many of the connectors as they used to, like the one that goes in the bottom of the fuse box that I bought a few years ago. I can’t tell how many terminals are in the connector in your pic. Is it 4 or 6? Exact block isn’t important. Clean, fresh connections are. You need to eliminate the corrosion which causes resistance and heat that melted the block. Anyway, their terminals and connectors are like OEM, even if you can’t find the exact one. Their crimp tool is great, as are the terminal extraction (depinning) tools. As Ed mentioned, this is indicative of one of the weaknesses of the GS charging system. Elimination of the white/green, white/red loop is part of cleaning up the charging system, along with replacing the RR with a SH775, cleaning up the grounds, and most likely a new stator. You can’t swing a dead cat in this place without reading at least one new post about it a day. Most members have already taken care of it, or will when they get tired of their bike not charging. I’ve documented my story, linked in my signature. If you can’t see that, here it is. https://www.thegsresources.com/_foru...+System+sorted

Thanks all,

The only SH775 on UK ebay are suspiciously cheap Chineseim copies. Are we saying these don't work at all or just not as well?

Have you tried calling your local Polaris ATV dealer?
Worked for me.

This one is from a watercraft. It's same, though.

The prices rocketed when Polaris found they were a cheap source of new R-Rs for many makes.

Thank you Nessism. I have purchased that one.

Tell me about it. It was a good spot by Nessism. There's a couple of brand new ones on there for ?190 and lots and lots of fakes..
