Unused old wires

[1948man]

I just installed a new Honda R/R from Duaneage after reading BassCliff's write-up. If I understand correctly, I can just tape up the old wires not used any more. All 3 wires from the old r/r to the stator are unused since I plugged the 3 yellow wires on the new r/r to the stator. Also, I plugged the red wire from the new Honda r/r into the same red wire that fed the old stock r/r. Does it sound like I have it right? I'm getting 13.5 bolts dc at idle and a about 13.8 volts at 4K rpm. Is that high enough?

13.8 V is low if that's your max. How about checking at 5000 rpm and posting back?

Will do.....

I'm now showing about 14.5v at just above idle. and about 13.7 at 5K

Sounds like You have some resistance between teh R/R(+) and the battery (+); Do you still have a bullet connector from Fusebox to battery?

I will check and get back. I probably won't be able to do much for a few days to to family situations. I connected the r/r positive to a red wire coming with all the other original r/r wires from some kind of connector. Would it be more efficient to access the positive from the battery at some other location?

The red positive goes into the bottom of the fuse box like this..
