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.

The Honda regulator is a 3-wire unit Mo. I will have to look up that one you have

Hi Mo .. great that the needles are OK.

Iam thinking along the lines that magnets in the rotor may be slightly weak so I would connect the yellow and white wires permanently. However, dig out one of those Kawasaki voltage regulators out and I will tell you how to connect it. This will mean that if you did generate excess charge then the regulator would 'current dump' it to ground and wouldn't overcharge your battery. How does it read if you have the dipped beam on too? Worth checking

yes great Ash thank you they were on the door matt when I got home one more thing out the way......what do I owe you for them ?

just need to get the fluke sorted out and I should be ready for a try out..... the fuse I think should take a few days to get here but when it do I can try it all out.

Cheers

Mo

No charge (on the needles) .... hoping charge on the battery  ;D
