Replace Separate Rectifier and Separate Regulator

[gaillarry]

I suspect the red wire on the solenoid powers the ignition switch through an inline fuse but which wire do I put it to: one of the orange ones I believe?

[cowboyup3371]

I don't have access to the wiring diagram I'm using so I can't give you all the right numbers off the top of my head right now; but with mine, one will go to the fuse block to provide main power and one will go to the relay to provide power there. From the fuse block, I'll connect to the red wire going to my ignition switch. The orange from the ignition switch will connect to the relay. The relay will then connect back to the fuse block to control my switched fuses.

Edit: Essentially, find the red that feeds your ignition switch or whatever your wiring diagram states it should be. You'll probably have to trace it out to know for sure.

Thanks I'll trace those two orange wires and find which one goes to the ign switch.

Thanks Steve, a diagram would be great!

OK, try this:

The easiest way to use that particular fuse block will be to add a single, separate fuse holder for your MAIN feed. Just cut the wire on the "dead" side of the MAIN fuse in your old fuse box, connect it to the new single fuse, run that to the battery or the battery terminal on the starter solenoid. (I prefer the solenoid to minimize extra wires at the battery.)

Power runs from the battery, through the MAIN fuse, to the ignition switch, then back to the fuse box. Cut that orange wire from the ignition switch just before it feeds the fuse box, connect it to the #85 terminal on a relay. Connect the #86 terminal to a ground point. Connect the #30 terminal to the battery post on the starter solenoid, connect the #87 terminal to the input terminal of your new fuse block. All six of your new fuses are now fed switched power straight from the battery.

The honda rr kits i offer are 6 wire and bolt into the original locations, you're going to need a bracket fo that Shadow RR

Steve: Thanks very much, now have lights. Have to shorten some wires and clean up the connections but I'm making progress !!!

The bike has no air box, has double style K&N air filters, so there's room on the right side of the frame to mount it.

Good news is now I have power to the lights, ignition, gauges and signals but no starter turning over.

With a jumper wire I jumped the solenoid and the starter turns over. From the solenoid there's a single yellow/green wire to the starter button on the handlebar switch. When I push the starter button I have power to the solenoid on the y/g wire. I swapped out the solenoid with another one and the same results???

(bike has no side stand switch or clutch safety switch)

Have you checked that you have a ground on the solenoid casing. Usually this is the battery box casing ground. Some black/white wire with a ring terminal under a mounting screw.

BINGO !!! Your'e right, thanks.

It has 8 wires, another I have only has 6

Use the six wire one- follow duaneage's wiring stuff. The eight wire is designed to vary the field strength to control stator output- you just have the fixed magnet anything goes design.

Just so you (and all the others) know, the side stand switch has NOTHING to do with starting the engine.

The only function of that switch is to turn on the light on the instrument panel.

I've already wired in the 8 wire r/r: 3 yellow for stator, two green for battery ground and two red for battery positive. The black sensor wire is not hooked up or should it be?

That sensor wire should be wired up to a switched power (ignition on) point. If direct to the battery positive terminal, it might cause the battery to be drained over a period, but will work.

Thanks for the input, I'll wire it to the tailight.
