Best to go series r/r route, like a SH-775 costs about $80. Member duaneage sells decent Shindengen shunt units with wire connectors. If you go ebaying, look for compatible Shindengen units -avoid most others,as lots are poor quality.

Search the forum for "Polaris R/R", read up, and buy one.

is it a stock type R/R having 3 stator wires, a ground wire and a power out wire?

.... or is it a "Honda" type also having another wire ("sense" wire)? If it is, and the sense wire is disconnected (or other wize detects low voltage) the R/R will put out max and battery voltage be way high like 18 (or more) volts.

does it sorta look like one in attached pic? Or does it have 3 yellow wires plus a red and black?

3 yellow wires plus a red and black?

[tom203]

Likely a aftermarket unit since it has 3 yellow wires. You need a new r/r. Might as well read up on charging issues at same time. It ain't a quick read, but don't just throw parts at bike and call it done!

bought a new sh775 r/r from Polaris no harness. Have three stator wire(one Yellow, one white with blue stripe, and one white with red stripe )does it make a difference what pin they go on? I understand the red & black wire but not the three stator wires.

[posplayr]

The order does not matter just make sure they go direct to the r/r. It will leave you with spare wires in the harness.tspe them back they have no power on them.

[8ball]

The three stator wires make no difference what order they are connected in.....as long as none of them are connected to the red or black locations.



I bought a harness from Triumph, p/n T2500676 from Bike Bandit (same online dealer that I bought the Polaris Razr 800 R/R from)

Soldered and heat shrunk the wires to the stator wires.
