    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. 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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

Shindengen SH232-12V replacement ???

Shindengen SH232-12V replacement ???

Thanks !

indeed a 5 minute search on the topic here on the forum gave me the correct answers.
Seemed that my questions already were answered before I even knew the difference between a moutain bike and my GS...

Greetz from Belgium,

the wire to the fuse box is likely to the main fuse, a 15 or 20amp depending on the model. that is usually the power wire to the ign. switch
 
well well well, this actually worked !

well well well, this actually worked !

Back again,

had the faulty RR replaced by the Shindengen, and what the hell...

13.8V at 1100 rpm and a remarkably steady 14.65V at 3500 rpm...

the bolts fitted right onto the battery box, the wires fitted easily
(to the battery, ground and hot wire from the tail light)...

The only thing I just can't seem to find out, is how much money you guys saved me...

thanks !

You're probably a lot more comfortable reading wiring diagrams than you were when you posted, but I've got some thoughts.
  1. Keep in mind that electricity needs a circuit. A wire won't do any good until it completes a round trip from the source back to the ground.
  2. As you follow the path of a given wire, try giving it a name; for instance, "lighting bus" or "starter."
  3. As you puzzle out part of the flow, mark it down on the diagram. If it isn't in color, use highlighters to keep track.
  4. Try to predict which wires will have potential and which not, then check with a VOM. Likewise, predict when you'll find potential, and test to verify your understanding.
 
thanks for the tip

thanks for the tip

thanks for the tips.

I fully understand that, even if this was pulled off successfully, there is more to it than meets the eye...

I will take into account all those usefull hints and start playing around a bit more with the measuring of circuits.
