    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Regulator Rectifier questions

I ordered the Electrex one Saturday night from Bike Bandit (ouch). I needed to pick up a few other small items anyway, and I just wanted to hook up the right one and go. Correct about the site/members being a great help.

I didn't check anything until I had it off the bike, but thanks to the Stator Papers was able to determine that the R/R was indeed faulty, and the stator checks O.K. The clear plastic covering the bullet connectors in the stator wiring looked to have gotten too hot.

I will run the ground straight to the batt negative as suggested, and hope I can remember how to put it all back together. Great fun. :)
 
So I got the replacement Reg Rec in a few days ago, looks to be a nice, burly unit. However, In the meantime, I stripped the bike down to nothing. Trying to find time to tear the motor out of the frame for powdercoat/polishing over the winter. Hopefully next spring I'll be able to update with info about the Reg/Rec. Something is a little odd, tho. The reg rec has not 5, not 6, but 7 wires, separated thusly: 3 yello into one connector, and two red and two green into another connector. I assume the yellows are stator leads, and the others are ground (green) and positive (?) leads? Anybody clarify?
