    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.

yet another silly R.R. question.

Got my neww R.R. today. I know the three yellows go to the stator wires, any order, the black goes to battery ground, where should i connect the red lead from the R.R.? Direct to the positive battery cable? There is no connector or empty plug socket that matches the plug on the R.R.

There are some that dont agree with me and connect the red + DC output into a positive wire in the wiring harness. but I have always preferred to connect the red lead directly to the + battery terminal. It leaves nothing to go wrong between the R/R and the battery connection and there is no chance of a voltage drop in the charging circuit. Been doing it that way for 15 years on as many bikes and it has caused no problem.

Thanks for the response Earl, Do you use an in-line fuse??
 
the r/r, does it have a sense wire? if so, the sense wire is the black one from the r/r and the green wire is the ground wire that goes to the neg. battery pole.
 
you know where the yellows go. the black to the neg. battery terminal by 12g wire and i've been advised by many here to send the red to the positive battery terminal via 10 amp inline fuse. You will have 2, i think, wires with no connections. I just capped those off.

Not sure why anyone would recommend using a 10 amp fuse when the MAIN fuse in the panel is a 15 amp fuse.
The charging system is capable of just over 20 amps, so I would put in a 20 amp fuse. :o
