Rectifier/Regulator replacement list

[tom203]

I beleve if memory serves, that yours is a 6 pin 20 amp, an equivalent would be this, and would work exactly as the oem would.

I'm sure that one would work but it's smaller than the typical honda R/R and has different bolt spacing. The sh-530 's apparently were made expressly for the ninja 250 and 500 . Bikingbluenoser might want the bigger is better honda sized R/R!

Bigger is always better for heat dissipation, but the 530 was also used on the kz550's through the kz750's

A little tip for you guys loosing for a MOSFET R/R on the cheap...

Try searching ebay for "Foreman regulator" or "Rubicon regulator". The Rubicon and Foreman used the FH009 version, which has a lower current capacity, but still plenty for a GS charging system. I recently picked up one for $20.50 shipped.

This one is not as cheep but still a fair deal...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Rubic...ies&hash=item4d036bba72&vxp=mtr#ht_500wt_1202

Got one!

Got one!

I managed to get a SH232 for $17.95 inc shipping. Hopefully that will fix my sputtering problem (if not, at least I have upgraded my r/r!).
Now to address the other issues...
Thanks for the replies!

Can anyone show me an example of a decent priced, just plug in and go R/R? I dont want to have to futz with rewiring things. If its a bit more expensive ($40-$50) I'm ok with that.

Sure, just head to suzuki dealer- he'll give you direct plug and go stuff- of course, it will cost you more than the $400 that the bike cost! Charging issues need to be addressed- head to Basscliff's site.
You can get new stator (not from suzuki) for about $100 and a decent used R/R (shindengen) for about $25 BUT you still have to straighten out connection issues. From your other post, it seems someone has already had a go at this problem. The stock R/R was/is mounted just above swingarm pivot- is yours still there????

I have a couple of stock ones that are known working. They are the larger ones (tend to be more reliable) from 1980.

You may have to join 5 wires is all.... Let me know if you want one. I suspect your current RR is on Bullet connectors if the loom is still stock so should be pretty easy.

Thanks for the help guys. I guess I just have no idea which Honda r/r I should be looking for. I've seen tons of different part numbers, read BassCliff r/r PDF, and read a bunch if threads. Everyone uses something different. Is there a member/vendor that can buy a good Honda R/R from?

EDIT: I found these. I'm assuming either of these will work properly correct?

No matter what you get, you must redo some connections (eliminate headlight loop, decent grounding )
Here's an example of an ebay item - shindengen sh-232- same as I use and bolts to existing R/R location under airfilter box. very durable unit, probably indestructible, honest!
ebay item # 170921447427

I was able to pick up a SCH530-12 for $13 shipped on eBay. It is a 6-wire, 20amp from what I've read so that should suffice for a bike that well get driven not very often.

The previous owner of my bike seems to have replaced some electrical components as I have an aftermarket R/R, and the ignitor has GS650 written in white writing on the side so I assume it came off of a junkyard bike.

Now that I will be completely rewiring my bike, should I stick with this R/R? There doesn't seem to be too much information about it online. Part number is TMR1002U. I see ebay listings that list this part for a KZ650, KZ900, etc.

I appreciate any advice.

How big is this R/R ? pic? probably you should lose it and get a Shindengen to be safe.Can you read numbers on the ignitor? Is it shaped like cigarette pack?

R/R is OEM size, and the ignitor seems to be an OEM part.

That ignitor is correct for all the shafty 650s- worth some bucks. That R/R is USELESS not oem- use as xmas ornament, I got 2 of those in parts lots and both were defective- don't risk your stator, get a used shindengen for $20.

Thanks!!

So if my ignitor goes, am I SOL? I see they go for $100+ used. It would be nice if there was something aftermarket.

I think this model ignitor is tough,so yours is probably good, but worst case scenario, get a dyna ignition setup as replacement. If you determine you have ignitor problem. let me know- I have two spares as insurance backup.
Seriously, dump that midget R/R- it's undersized for heat sinking.

Sorry to ask questions that have been answered already, but what would be the best cheapest option to go with? SH232? SH541? FH008EB?

Thanks for all of the help.

 

[tom203]

Many to choose from on ebay; I use a sh-232 - here is an an example
ebay item # 160936862360
a sh-532, probably could be had for $20 shipped

Personally, I choose the FH model Shindengen's, but they cost a little more.

Alright, so I've spent all day reading about this stuff. It looks like I can get a FH009 pretty cheap (taking the advice of a previous poster), and coupled with the Furukawa connectors either from Eastern Beaver or Ebay, it seems like this would be a pretty solid setup (don't even need to bother with a sense wire either). How come it seems that no one discusses the cheaper FH009, and that it's not listed in the first post?
