If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

safwankhan,Glad to hear you are up and running again!
If you have the original rectifier/regulator, the heat on your rectifier is probably not going to go away whether you add some more loads or not. The rectification itself produces heat in these devices and the originals were not as rugged as others of the same vintage -they seem to burn out too often and I believe the electrics gave these bikes a bad reputation soon after they were sold.
So, keep your "fingers crossed" (as we say over here) that it does not fail. If you cannot easily find the new and popular SH 775 or its variants , I recommend you go back to that junkyard and have a look for a Honda one from a larger bike. I've replaced two burned out Suzuki OEM R/R's with 2nd hand SH238's(I believe they were from CX/GL 500's) . Basscliff has some instruction here as to the differences in wiring these Honda regulators.

But paying close attention to your connections can help too...I mean for instance, a "ground bus" so that the negative side can have a "resistance free" path to the Battery's negative pole...there is plenty of stuff about all these improvements here if you can sort through and find it.
 
Great information. I will look around for SH-775 or its variants. Btw i've heard from some bikers here that Honda CBR1000's R/R (2005 model) is also a good replacement R/R as it is made up of FETs and runs cooler than the stock or OEM versions. Is that true? Regarding your bus point, I've tightly mounted battery's negative terminal to the frame with a bolt connector after sand blasting the point of contact to ensure direct metal-to-metal connection and did the same with the R/R's ground on the other side of the frame with anther bolt connector so the ground connection is pretty solid with zero resistance across both points.

Get a SH-775 R/R And protect your brand new stator or plan on finding another spare stator soon!

Thanks Tom for this info. However I can't seem to find an SH-775 on ebay. Can you suggest from where I can get one of these?

Oops, don't go recommending that one, it's almost certain to be a non-series type - read this.

It's all very fishy, indeed.

Yeah, it's fishy, but I wouldn't expect them to understand series vs. shunt argument. But they should be able to pick unit up up and note Shindengen's markings. If it was false, I' report them to eBay and get full refund plus Nadia would get a black eye. OP has got to do some digging considering his location!

I think the owner of that company knows exactly what the difference is and what he's doing. 'Nadia' is probably a sweaty jock in a basement.

I was thinking "Nadia" was the name of his Russian girlfriend who moonlighted as a Shindengen rep while working her way through college.
