How do I know which r/r to get?

I am going to be replacing my bad OEM stator with a caltric stator and I figured I might as well upgrade my r/r while I am at it.

I would like to get a used shindengen or polaris r/r. Preferably a series type rather than the shunt type. My question is, how do I know which r/r will be compatible with my 650L? I ask because I assume an 1100 would use a different r/r than my 650. I looked at the list of compatible r/r's on Basscliff's website but it does not specify which size engine they work with.

Can anyone suggest an r/r for me? Part/model numbers would be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

They all will work. A lot of folks like the FH rather than the SH. If price is no object, the Compufire r/r is the biz. Yes, one size fits all.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Yeah,but see if you can get a SH-775 (Shindengen series type) off a Polaris dealer- they might still be under $100.
 
Steve were you ever able to take any measurements on the sh-775?
 
Thanks for the help, guys. It would have taken me forever to find this information on my own and I probably would have ended up spending double. I went with the r/r and connectors that Steve linked.

Unrelated question: When I replace my stator are there any gaskets or anything else that need to be replaced? I see there is a gasket between the side case and the engine, but can I just reuse this since it isn't currently leaking? Also, do I need to put any RTV or anything else between the stator and side case for this install? I know that one fault of the stator is when is shorts out to the case so I was curious if there was anything that needs to be between that mating surface.

I think Steve is holding out on this info!
Under $70 for a sh-775 ? wow, I might hit my beer budget for one.

To steamroller; the stator gasket will likely be destroyed during removal- just get a new one < $15 and avoid RTV goop. Clean the mating surfaces exquisitely- this will be the longest part of job. might want to get new allen headed fasteners
 
Thanks for the link, BassCliff. Lol at "some guy".

Looks like I will get that gasket then.
 
Make sure to get the OEM gasket The thin crappy gaskets work, but the starter may drag due to clearance issues..
 
I already ordered a Rick's gasket. Are these alright or have others had bad luck with these?

Have not ordered one in yet. :oops:

Too many things happening here, including a new job that started today.
Fortunately it included a decent pay raise, so parts may be flowing soon. :D

I tested the file, it looks good. Feel free to download the file and view it with a PDF viewer instead of using the plug-in viewer in your browser. Do a 'right-click' and 'Save as...' and save it to your hard drive. Then you can view it off line, print it, share it, use it as a dart board cover, etc. ;)

Thank you for your indulgence,
