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...

    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.

I have a Honda RR from an 86 VF 700 8 wires .shinigan sh541-12
3 yellow -go to stator
2 green - ground -go to battery neg -can be run together
2 red -positive -go (through fuse) to battery positive -can be run together
1 black- sense wire -go to switched positive (taillight)

OK have I got this stuff right do not want to kill my new stator through bad connections.
 
Hi

Electrically that plan will work. I think I have mine wired that way right now. But I was thinking...

I suppose you could split the green and red wires. Put one green wire on your negative battery terminal and the other to a good, clean frame ground. Put one red wire back into the harness hot wire (yes, ending up at the fusebox) and attach the other red wire directly to the positive terminal of the battery, also through a 20a fuse.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Thats the way I did mine and it seemed to work great.
 
on the 79 i have the 3 yellows to the stator, the 2 reds to the (+) on the battery via an inline fuse, 1 green to the (-) on the battery, 1 green grounded to the frame, and the 1 black sense wire to a relay switch. I was getting too much of a voltage drop when hooked up to my taillight and the r/r vdc would ramp up beyond 15.5 vdc. It's all good now (14.43 vdc) thanks to Lucabond. I know most connect the black to the taillight, not the brake light.

I've attached the show chrome voltmeter and it reads okay, 13.8, 13.9 at 4k rpms. There is a drop somewhere there but when i test the vdc with my voltmeter it reads 14.4 vdc. So i just make sure my readings don't go up by .6 volts or down by 2volts. Still testing the voltmeter on the bike for accuracy.
