    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...

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.

Sh-775 question

I just want to start this post by saying thank you to everyone who post on this forum, it has been a wealth of information.

Now on to the heart of the matter... every R/R post I've seen on here everyone says to use a sh775. Why is that? Is it just the most reliable? Or is it the only thing that truly works? Any info is appreciated.

I have a 79 GS100l fwiw.
 
see GS stator in my signature as well as GS Charging System health and look for links for SERIES R/R.
 
It's better because it does its job more effectively. When a "regular" r/r gets more power from the stator than it needs to send to the bike, it sheds it as heat. When a SH775 receives excess power, it turns it into harmless things like fairy dust and unicorn tears.
 
Thanks for the reply, I must have just overlooked it in all of the reading I've done on it.

And I was told by a good friend of mine that unicorn tears alone add an extra 4.5 Horse Power, and the fairy dust is an added bonus...

Since you took that so well I will give you the real answer. The original regulator is a shunt type. It works by dumping excess current to ground, which results in the stator running full blast all the time, making extra heat and shortening its lifespan. The SH-775 is a series type regulator and it works by regulating the output of the stator to match the load on the system. When less than full power is required it dials the stator back so it runs cooler and lasts longer.
