Any chance of a picture of the old R/R or how many connections in and out does it have?
The original would have had five connections. Three inputs from the generator, one supply,red, to a tee in the harness and a ground which may not be a wire but just grounding through the casing.
Some alternate R/R had more wires. For example a separate sense wire and a separate ground wire in addition to the four mentioned above.
The Orange/Green is probably the bike's supply wire for lights, horn etc and this could be a choice for location of a 'sense' wire for one of those fancy R/R.
With the SH 775 setup you revert to stock with three inputs from the generator, red output to the harness tee and a ground wire to a good earth.
The wire to the Orange/Green wire is redundant.Last edited by Brendan W; 09-15-2024, 05:40 AM.97 R1100R

Ok, so I have done some thinking. Pics below are of the RR. I have a feeling this is an old replacement. As you can see, it has a orange black, that goes to an orange wire. So what I need to figure out, is what that orange wire needs to do now with the new RR. Fun Fun. Any thoughts are helpful.

photo of the molex connector where the old RR connected. Also had the stator connector. IMG_0147.jpg

And I see three yellow wires coming out of the regulator and going into that black sheathing but only two yellow wires coming out of the black sheathing and connected to that black connector. Where does that third yellow wire go if not connected to the black connector?Jim, in Central New York State.

Is your new R/R a five or six wire type?
I run a five wire SH775. Three generator inputs, red + output to harness and black - to ground.
The original set up was five wire on most if not all of these machines.
Six wire units can be used with wiring additions.
You can revert to five no problem.97 R1100R

I'm gonna guess that the Orange/Black wire coming out of the regulator is a sensing wire to monitor the system's voltage and is not a Suzuki wire or wire color. Looks like a PO connected that Orange/Black wire to the solid orange wire (which is a Suzuki original wire). That Orange wire comes from the ignition switch and is only hot when the ignition key is in the "on" position, allowing the regulator to monitor system voltage when the key is "on".
Now for the rest of my question from my previous post:
"And I see three yellow wires coming out of the regulator and going into that black sheathing but only two yellow wires coming out of the black sheathing and connected to that black connector. Where does that third yellow wire go if not connected to the black connector?"

That R/R looks aftermarket. The stock wiring for the 1100E has 5 wires going to the R/R. I don't want to guess what that Orange/Black wire is for, since a wrong decision could damage something.Ed
