2 Extra wires from my rectifier

(1/3) > >>

Drew400:
Hi all,

My non-standard solid state rectifier has a black and a white wire coming from it with male spades on the end (see picture below). Inevitably perhaps, my photos of the dismantling aren't clear enough to work out where these wires go.

There's only the 3 x yellow, 1 x green and 1 x red wires shown on the wiring diagrams that I have. There's also no branding on the device to look up on t'interwebnet.

Can you help?

Thank you, D.

Thats 'cos its a regulator as well. You need the proper instructions for it as there is no standard for aftermarket parts

Lobo:
Hi Drew,

Your unit is actually a regulator / rectifier... ie those two spare wires are for the regulator part of the circuit.

(and consequently you can remove the OEM regulator - ie 'black box' with G/W/B connections - first pic.)

If Honda compatible the black will connect to the loom feed which went to the OEM regulator (& is +12v DC @ ignition ON)
If Honda compatible the white will connect to the loom feed which went to the OEM regulator (& connects to the alternator)

(The left over GREEN (ie earth) from your (removed) OEM regulator can be taped up out of the way - your reg/rectifier unit has already got its earthing from the rectifier loom plug on the battery side of the bike)

The final (embarrassing) pic is my 750K2 as PO had wired it. Hmmm. The unit does look like yours... and indeed it did work, so I'd probably be confident to give it a try...

Hope this helps,
Simon

Ha ha, I spent ages cleaning and painting the old regulator (see pic) which I guess was left there by the previous owner/owners without me realising it wasn't wired in! I guess it helps if you know what you're looking at, eh?

Thanks for the help guys.

We might get this baby running one day!

Cheers,

D.
