MarkCR750:
It's time to sort the electrics, unfortunately I'm rubbish at this sort of thing, I am fitting a combined regulator rectifier, the rectifier side of things seems simple enough, it just plugs in and the wires match up colour for colour in the loom and unit plugs, but on the new unit I have just a black and a white wire for the regulator, the original Honda regulator has 3 wires, black, white and green, I think that the new unit should be connected black to black and white to white with the green wire just being ignored/not used, is this correct?, sorry if this is a dumb question but electrics are a mystery to me!, any help much appreciated, cheers Mark.

PS the new unit was supplied by Brooks barn and is a 30amp, 7 wire, 3 phase regulator/rectifier, SMR-09

Spot on my green wire is just left unplugged and it seems to work fine.

Thanks Mick, had the same answer on the American forum, I assume the green wire that goes to the plug is shared by both functions so the loom green (ground I assume) to the original regulator is redundant, thanks for confirming.

Hi Mark
Green does go to earth, so all is OK. where did you get yours from? I am thinking of taking this route myself.
