    Do you presently have a stock Suzuki R/R, or do you presnely have some other R/R that has a sense wire?

        There are better choices for cheaper. Look up Matchless's R/R thread and start reading up if you want to maximize value in your R/R purchase. Also, rewire the charging system per GSR conventional wisdom. Tons of info on that in the archives as well.

        Good luck

          Buy a Honda RR, SH-232 or SH-532 and follow the instructions on the link below my sig line.

          The best part is it bolts in the same holes as the original and it's easy to wire it in. And they don't fail.

              15.0 volts is fine, particularly if the battery is discharged. I wouldn't worry until you get higher than that.

                My battery is new and fully charged ,when i said high 15v i meant 15.5 to 15.8 v at 5000 rpm .I probably didnt explain it well sorry

                  Your regulator is not regulating. Do not run the bike until you replace it.

                        Those numbers are date codes. Nothing to do with what the RR does.

                          They are the same except for the way wires come out of the case. The 232 has longer leads and was my all time favorite because they are usually cleaner. The 532 was used on dirt bikes and tend to be muddy.
