Regulator Rectifier upgrade

I agree 150% this is the way to go...

For one thing they help protect your stator from return current overheat damage and secondly, they are made by a well respected Japanese company and are extremely robust. I've posted dozens of times about the superiority of the SH775 but for some reason most people around KZR ignore this advise. If you need more conceiving try google searching on SH775 and read for yourself. They are no more expensive than a cheap Chinese shunt R/R too. It's a nobrainer.

So... is this different than the ones sold by Rick's and ElectroSport? Not trying to be contradictory but just want to know. To me electricity=magic.

Totally different technology. The SERIES R/R shuts off excess current flow back to your stator thus helping to protect it. A SHUNT R/R, like those Electrosport and Rick's units, does not. As mentioned, the return current is that not used by the bike. When you see a stator that's all black and chard most of the time that's because it overheated from return current.

Oh, and be very careful purchasing a SH775. There are lots of counterfeits on the market. A real SH775 costs about $150 new so beware when you see them for less. Fortunately, they are almost unbustable so purchasing used is just fine. Search out a Polaris RZR or Ranger R/R, and make sure the photos show "SH775" printed on the top.

And a MOSFET R/R is not a SERIES type. They are typically a SHUNT R/R. Don't buy a Shidengen R/R that starts with a FHXXXX because those are shunt type. Look for a SH775, you can find them for $50 shipped or less on ebay typically.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI don't even understand the Rick's Motorsport ad.
SEE It says:



I didn't know Kawasaki made KZ900LTD models form 2006 - 2008. :blink:

Somebody goofed. I don't think that seller is Rick's Motorsport --- the item is, but not the seller. They've probably made a copy & paste error or something like that. buyer beware nonetheless, though

If your battery isn't charging you should first check the battery to see if it's still good. The next thing to check is your alternator. The alternator should produce about 45 to 50 volts on each of three phases. The video I posted will show you how to check it.
