Wiring Diagram 2 wire Alternator
All
I bought the uprated Regulator/rectifier box as the old one was boiling hte battery. Trouble is that the wires are a different colour to the original and the connectors are different. My bike is a 1997 M900 so the wiring was originally correct for that model. Has anyone got the wiring diagram for the latest regulator/rectifier?? Jon G |

id stick the
two red to +ve battery two green to -ve Battery and cross your fingers on the old set-up id guess at the single red and the red with black line being a longer way back to the battery errm perhaps with a fuse in there and you wont get a battery light on the dash for the battery being dead any more sounds like you have a slightly different reg/rec to the one I've recently got for me 92 750 SS again a 2 yellow wire version i got that from electrex world (via a main dealer) and that's a RR51 |

funny coloured wires
Scotty
I think you have hit the nail on the head it is the 2 non-red-or-yellow wires which are the problem. The original Reg Rec uses the frame as earth the othter wires are 1) a feed from the battery to give charge control 2) the feed from the voltage regulator light - so they can't be wired to earth - that would be a radical change for a replacement part. The risk of total burn out of battery ,loom & reg rec seem very high here. ,. was yours a 2 wire alternator pre 98 monnie? Jon |

Wrong Reg-Rec?
Stafford
thanks but I already had that manual - difference is I paid for it. As far as I can tell the 1997 Monnie was the last one with a 2 wire alternator [anyone know better?] and my 97 manual shows the bike's wiring to be standard; with the 2 red wires with stripes as above. On the Electrex site their M900 reg/rec replacement is shown with the correct wiring unlike my new one. The new Reg-Rec I have is a Shindengen SH673-12 which is in a Ducati box marked as M900 and 2 web-shops are selling them as M90 replacements. It may have been fitted to French Elefants? So I cannot prove it is wrong but it doesn't fit at all so I am going to go back to Riders and try to get my money back. |
