    regards trev

    The three yellows connect to the stator leads in any order.

    Red/white is +12V
    Green is ground

    Black is the sense wire -- it needs to be hooked up to a SWITCHED +12V wire.

        Greetings and Salutations!!

        Hi Mr. loneranger,

        The easiest place to connect the sense wire is in the brake light feed at the brake light switch. But any switched 12v source will do. ("Switched" meaning that it gets power when the ignition is turned on, not directly connected to the battery.)



        Let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

        I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.

        If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

        Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", "Top 15 Tips For GS Happiness", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...



        Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

        Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

        Thank you for your indulgence,

          Trev,

          You addressed "Dear Sir" and bwringer was the first to respond.

          And what he said was correct (as always).

          THat sense line does need to go to a switched power line. The R/R will work with the sense line connected to battery positive (R/R output) but will also cause a small drain on the battery when it is parked. SO that is why it needs to be connected to some place that is disconnected when the bike is parked. That orange wire to the brake switch is convient for its location.

          Welcome to GSR.
          Oh, wait, we are not suppose to give advice untill you post a picture of your bike.

          You say you have a failed R/R.
          Do you know if the stator survived? How have you checked that?
          Sometimes a failed R/R will also fry the stator.

          .

            I ran the sense wire on 6 G models temporarily to the battery, a couple years ago. That was after one cooked the battery due to voltage drop in the ignition switch while on a trip. I have not experienced any problems with the battery loosing its charge when parked more than usual, so I probably will always hook them up to an unswitched lead. Of course it doesn't fix the ignition switch, which is the actual problem.

              Make sure that 12v source has the same voltage as your battery. If there is some resistance in the wire or connector between that source and the battery you will have a slight voltage drop. The RR will sense that voltage drop and compensate by over charging your battery.

                  But try to find that source- maybe the Shindengen folks figured there would be some drop in sense wire and designed for it. 850 combat claims the current draw by wiring direct is not a problem. The brake light wiring is a long way from battery.

                    Depends on the GS. Most are within 16 inches. The wires can always be extended.

                      Looks to me that brake light positive has to travel thru signal fuse, back to ignition,then back to main fuse and on to battery.
