Send it back and get a SH775. Superior tech and cheaper (get a used one, they are very robust).
Wire R/R same as detailed in the Kawasaki service manual:
3 stator wires straight into the R/R AC input legs
Negative to battery
Positive output to battery, via the starter solenoid.

What color are the wires? The photo on their site seems to be showing a 6-wire. I would contact the seller.
3 yellow = stator. black = ground (usually). red or red/white = power wire (usually). but I would verify.
brown = voltage sensor wire (not needed on some aftermarket r/r).
Typically, the brown wire is eliminated on some aftermarket voltage regulators. The brown wire on the stock unit is a sensor wire & is used by the voltage regulator to sense the battery voltage. On the 5-wire units, the brown wire isn't needed as the voltage sensing is built into the reg-rec circuitry.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationThe 750 doesn't use a CDI. It uses an electronic ignition system w/ignitor. A CDI is a totally different type of ignition system (typically used on dirt bikes).
The Dyna S ignition fits your bike. Can't say it's a better system than stock though.

The Shindengen SH775 is a SERIES type R/R which means it helps protect your stator from shunted current overheat failure. That Rick's R/R shunts all the extra power generated by the generator that the bike doesn't need back to the stator where it can cook it. Do some google searching on SH775 and read up. Series R/R's are going to replace shunt type in the near future. It's just a matter of time. Plus, you can get a SH775 for less than $40 shipped so it's a nobrainer.

The only decent priced sh775's the I can find nowadays are generic versions. And I can't really find any reviews about the quality of them. The price of the actual Shindengen SH775 seems to have increased substantially in the last year or so. I've also read the SH847 is another good alternative, but has also had a price increase. Do you have any experince with generic versions or any recomendations for a good original source?

Get a used one. They are super robust. Search "polaris RZR regulator" on ebay and you will find dozens of used ones. Just be sure to get confirmation that there is SH775 printed on the unit because most photos don't show the lettering.
