Rick's stators are fine but you'd be way ahead with the Polaris/Shindengen r/r. Better design and less money.

That would be the series model SH-775 that Jim alluded to.
If you wish to toss your money at a shunt R/R, feel free. It's your money, your bike, and your stator that will burn up again.
As one of our esteemed members likes to say "Do a search". You'll be pleasantly surprised.

To hard to type honda rectifier into the search on ebay??? I was looking for the suggested models when I saw the large amount of chinese ones for 40. Here is one for 30.

Ebay search for "regulator" in motorcycle parts turned up 14,000 hits, "rectifier" was 11,500.

Another option, there are often used SH775 RRs on ebay, I got mine for $25 plus shipping. People must crash a lot of Polaris ATVs....

Be careful about buying used SH775s on ebay. Some are shunt, some are series.

How can that be? Genuine SH-775's are SERIES per Shindengen; how do they come up SHUNT?

Because they are not genuine, according to several posts in the SH775 threads. Those who claim to be in the know stated that some have been discovered to be shunt, and the best way to guarantee that they are genuine are to purchase them from a Polaris dealer with the correct part number, also listed in the SH775 threads.

Mine had the correct factory markings and Polaris part number. It was too dirty to have been restamped or tampered with...

This is the proper way to purchase a used one. You have to check the Polaris part number, not just the Shindengen part number.

OR people are re-selling defective ones. No way to tell until you hook it up and see if your stator acts as VERY expensive fuse.

There's been a lot of research done by people here and on other forums, and a genuine NEW Polaris RR is proving to be an reliable, affordable way to improve on the 30 year old technology that most of us have or had. But, as it's been said - Please, feel free to buy a Chinese knock-off, and/or a used RR that's supposed to be good. Hook it up to YOUR bike and go.

I just don't think you'll find much support or agreement here that either of those methods is cost-effective in the long run.

[koolaid_kid]

Personally, I weigh the cost savings between a used R/R of questionable performance vs. a brand new R/R against the price of yet another new stator. It's your money and your bike, but I know which way I would go.

There are two used SH-775 regulators on eBay right now for $40 shipped. Search for "rzr 800 regulator". I'd be picking one up myself as a backup for my 750 PO installed el-cheapo R/R, but of course my motorcycle parts funds have already been tapped out this month.

I'm with koolaid on this one. $40 for an ebay type or $61 for the known good Polaris part... It's worth $20 to be sure.
