    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

As the title states. Any ideas on an upgrade? I reviewed the list but know nothing about it. The one I have is still good.
 
Not certain about your particular model, but bang for your buck the SH775 is the best thing out there.

See GS Stator in my signature

And you can read about the SH-775

I'm thinking about the Compufire CF55402 but maybe someone has a link where I can purchase the necessary stuff to hook this up? Can I just swap the OEM R/R out? I have seen Steve's stator and was going to go that route as well, when I'm ready, if necessary. Do you think the stator failure issues (excessive heat) caused by the shunt R/R's would have any effect on a GS425? Perhaps the engine is too small to worry about stator failure. Idunno. Comments welcome.

I would definitely recommend the SH775!

I've just replaced my stator for the second time... not 100% sure but I think it was the shunt style SH532 that fried it this time, previously it would've been the stock looking one... but a PO had already replaced the stock one.

You will need to change connectors for the SH775 but there's no sixth sense wire to worry about.

The only thing you will need to do is work out where to mount it... it's huge!

Pull the cover and see if your stator is toast
