    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.

Give me specific R/R info please...

Hello all, I have an 83 GS750E. What I would like is a few SPECIFIC model/ part numbers of Series Reg/ Rec that I should use to update my system. Either new ,aftermarket or other OEM types.

Thanks!

Mad:D
 
IMHO the CompuFire 55402 is the best series R/R on the market for our bikes. It's also the most expensive. I used to replace headlight bulbs every 4 to 6 months using the old style Suzuki style R/R's. Since installing the CompuFire, I'm still using the same bulb, so in headlight bulbs alone, I've paid for the CompuFire.
 
Not to downplay the CompuFire, but I installed one, along with a new stator, in my wife's bike last year.
So far, I have not seen all those magic numbers that everyone else is enjoying.
Yes, it's charging. It will go down the road at 14+ volts, but still idles around 13.
Yes, it has new connections straight from stator to R/R.
Yes, the R/R is connected directly to the battery.
Yes, it's a good battery.

When I get around to cleaning up the electrical side on "Junior", I plan on installing one from a 2011 Polaris Ranger 800.
It is a series regulator that will handle what our bikes can generate and the price for a NEW one is ... get this ... $67.92. :D

Nice find! That's about half what I paid for my Cycle Electric series r/r, and probably half the size, too.

I have not seen the Cycle Electric R/R of which you speak, but this is the same size as the FET shunt regulators that we were moving to a couple of years ago.
Same size and connector layout, so if you have one of those installed, it will be REAL easy to switch to the Polaris R/R. :D

Is that the 4012941? It's a few bucks less at Partzilla but no free shipping. This was the cheapest I found it when I got around to ordering and most sites I'd bookmarked had jumped 30-35% over a few days.
