voltage regulator

(1/2) > >>

ogri211:
I am in the middle of doing the wiring on my bike, I have had the engine running which appears to be OK but my question is about the voltage regulator when I took the bike apart only 1 wire was connected to the regulator and the other 2 were bridged, I have since reconnected the 3 wires correctly to the regulator, does anyone know why these would have been bridged out, and does anyone have experience of replacing the old regulator with a more modern version.

Bryanj:
The mechanical ones work fine and the solid state seem to give lots of problems so why change it, the mechanical one switches between no charge, half charge and full charge so perhaps it was bridged to give full charge all the time and boil the battery

Im offshore just now but when I get home to complete the wiring I will check the operation of the regulator and if it is in spec I will leave it alone.

Bryanj:
Somewhere on the site, or maybe the uS one, is an explanation of the 3 phase charging circuit with diagrams from the Honda Tech book i have

Bryanj:
Just found the explanation on the US site, if I have done it right link should take you there
