That regulator is confusing I know. On the Honda system it's a 3 wire unit with a sense to the battery voltage but on the Kwak one it's just a connection between ground and the AC output.

I have illustrated the Kwak diagram . You need to connect the Yellow/Green wire to YELLOW on your Honda and thde black to ground (battery negative).

Sorry Mo ... not sure what you need from me ... it sounds like you have the wiring details pretty much sussed out if you are wiring directly and not going through the bikes main loom ? Or am I missing something?

Tiddler  ;D  S90, S65, YAS1, PC50  or if deep pockets CB92
I can recommend a YAS1,


had one from new,
Truly magical to ride,
Build quality not as good as Honda

Allen Millyard has a lovely YAS1 he rides around picking his parts up.

I recently bought some from Planet Silicone on eBay in nitrile rubber. Pretty sure the OD is slightly larger than the Honda original though (for 400F)

Great ingenuity  ;)

Someone in the UK is 3-D printing them and selling on eBay UK

Not sure on the exact sizes of the original rubber sleeving but this may be a starting point .. they do many other sizes.

I can't help but wonder how a cardboard box could support a heavy  cargo like a motorcycle. :-\

It also had a wooden framework like this.

You did well there Ian as I have not had the same luck with them. But there again one of the few places that will rechrome a used exhaust.

the red lead is the one from the rectifier to the battery which is being held on by the black probe, and the other black from the Rectifier is to the - side of the battery the starter wire as we said is Not connected as use kickstart only.....

i wish I Know more Ash about Electrics  ;D 

oh don`t forget I have the wires from the stator going to the Rectifier so Not going thought the loom

You definitely need to connect the red lead from the rectifier to the red probe from the meter and only have the black lead connected to the battery. Idea is to measure current in to or out of battery.

Mo .. you should only have the black probe going to the battery  .. that red lead from the rectifier needs to connect to the other red leads

Hi Ash

Well thanks for that and the Manual I have got one but got a spare Now.... going over to Kawasaki LOL

so here is what I have done this morning with the bike lights on and off Not to sure now as with the lights on the voltage drop a lot but I will ley you tell me what you think, it starts off with the lights off and rev at 2,000 rev`s about 13.40 to 13.45 then lights on and drop right away to about 12.7 then go`s down from there to about 12.46 all at 2,000 rev`s don`t know if that is good enough or Not.

Cheers Mo

Doesn't sound too bad .. can you do the same tests with meter set to 10A and in series with battery (as you did previously) please Mo and give us some current readings.

Bl**dy hell I am now genning up on Kwak KH400 electrics ! Forgive me as I have sinned  :)

Must admit the Shop Manual looks pretty good though.

https://kawatriple.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Workshop-Manual-S-KH-Series-1.pdf

So here you go Mo. On Kwak voltage regulator ... Black wire to Ground and Yellow/Green wire to Yellow on your wiring.

Are ok...... well I Think the other one when i find it has 4 wires ........

and is a lot bigger one........... so if I can use this one Ash would be good, so I asum it go`s somewhere between the rectifier and the Battery ?.

Leave it with me to investigate Mo. You also need to check your charge current with the lights on dipped beam.
