GS550E Stator/Rotor Qestion

  • Thread starter Thread starter Tomi
  • Start date Start date
R/R mounted in my bike is SH232-12, I have tested it with multimeter according to some YT instructions (diode test), and it passes the test.
You think, I can use this R/R or should I look for stock ?

That's a very good shunt unit- I used one for years before switching to a series unit. Probably indestructible.
 
With a little help of mirror I found numbers on the back of my flywheel: GP9101 01, can anybody tell me what what is Suzuki OEM number for this ?

Tom203, I have read your post about sh232-12 wiring, and you write "...the red is positive feed, the green is ground, the black wire is the sense wire (connected to switched + 12 volt )."
On my bike black is connected to ground and green is cut off, is this a reason why my stator was cooked ?

With the green wire just cut off, the sh-232 can't dump any excess to ground, so unpleasant things would happen. But I don't see how any current would flow to the r/r - I'd guess it would be an open circuit condition with no current flowing from stator.The black sense wire needs to be connected to a +12 volt source so it can decide how much to regulate/dump the stator's output. Your stator was probably toasted before the sh-232 was added.

Brilliant; electrical wiring by braille.

I would guess that with no ground the R/R will sense a high output voltage as there is nothing to hold it down (i.e. like the battery).

On the other hand the sense wire going to ground is telling it that the battery is dead and to keep on charging.

Since the stator is smoked, I suspect it decided to short the stator windings permanently.


BTW, the current returns to the R/R on the green(the opposite of all the current that leaves the red); there is no such thing as "dumping current to ground" other than a common misperception.
 
I'm a bit surprised that the R/R measures fine, given the botched wiring - probably the stator got cooked early enough? :-k

In any case case, if you decide to keep this R/R; after replacing the stator, make sure everything is wired up correctly. And do posplayer's quick charging check.

It's me again, unwrapping isolation tape I found that SH232 is connected in different way: yellow's are connected to stator, green is not cut and is going to ground, but red and black are joined together and soldered to one positive wire. Can you tell me if this can be a reason why stator was cooked ?
I ordered new stator "Electrex G01" and don't want to loose it by making someones mistake.

The black is the voltage sense wire. So connecting the two together like that actually allows the unit to charge more accurately, the downside is that it probably will draw more current that it should becuase the sense wire always has battery voltage on it.

This is why the sense wire is typically always connected to a switched 12V source (e.g. ORANGE output of the ignition switch of O/G brake light switch)

No it would not burn anything up.

Thank you posplayr, for your answer :)
I'm waiting for stator and try to connect all together, hopefully it will work.
 
You may want to test if the "sense" wire is allowing current to flow when the bike is off with your configuration. if so, this is another reason to connect the sense wire to a "switched" circuit...on Hondas it was connected to the fuse box supply... On our bikes this would be the Orange wire .
