Who needs a SH775?

[Nessism]

I've bought and tested a couple dozen of these units and have yet to find one that didn't work properly. I've gotten a few with broken plastic connectors though. Even if you get one of those it's not the end of the world though. You can use a wire tie to keep the connector closed, or forget the connector and simply use spade terminals to attach the wires to the unit.

Anyway, here are a few currently on ebay. Look closely at the connector, looking for a broken tab. I think one of the Can-Am units posted has the tab broken on the light gray connector.

Wow, the timing on your post was perfect. First one (broken-tab Can-Am) is gone, I'll use spades. Thanks for this post, I just started down the road of looking for a regulator/rectifier, and this save me a lot of time.

Nice. Some non acidic RTV can be used to seal the cavity. I've got a few tubes if you want to go that way. Just pay shipping.

Thanks, will send you a PM

Nessism - Do the two letters at the end of the printed SH775 designation have any significance for our GS purposes?

Not that I know of. The Sea Doo SH775's are commonly AA, but most others are BA. I've tested both on my bike and they seem to perform the same.

Good to know. The BA version I picked up is from a Polaris, don't know if 4wheeler or snowmobile. Thank you.

Found a few more on ebay incase anyone is in need. Few are priced a little high. Few don't have a picture of the SH755 label, I would request a picture of that end before purchasing.

are these usable across the '80's GS line or only specific models? My '83 GS650 seems to be charging fine, but the '81 GS550T is less reliable. The battery drains quickly while sitting, will test rev voltage shortly. Previous test had it going ~12.8V at 2-3k rpms not the 13+ typically seen. Haven;t tested the circuit yet to see if I have a drain somewhere

Yes they can be used on your 550. I have one in mine and my daughter’s 550s

Just realize that the R/R is only part of the charging system. You still need:
1. A good battery
2. A healthy stator.
3. Clean/good electrical connections - including all of your grounds.

And if you've got a parasitic drain, take care of that first.

Also, rewire the charging system to simply the circut and get rid of the Suzuki stator loop up to the hand control.
