1982 gs850g charing problem - stator and recitifier replacment

[Matchless]

Hey matcheless, yes I believe it's a honda part, I bought it from duanage of this site. Heard it was a good replacement for the oem part, since the oem is known to go bad.

I currently have the green wired to chasis, should I extend the wire so it will reach the negative on the battery? And current the sense wire is just hanging loose. Will that cause any problems?

Thanks everyone for helping out this newb.

If you have it wired to the chassis and the same point is wired directly to the battery negative, it should be OK. Otherwise rather take it directly to the battery and be sure.
The sense wire MUST be connected otherwise you will get no regulation and overcharge your battery, blow lights and electronics etc.

You must measure your charging voltage otherwise you will have no idea whether it is working correctly or not.

Please tell me you are joking.

Seriously man, Duane has a wiring diagram that goes with his parts. Have you looked at it?

afraid not. =( bought it last season. things just kept popping up, till I finally got around to it this season.

Sigh, i'll go fishing for the diagram.

Hi,

For duaneage's Honda regulator kits (and just about any used 6-wire Honda Shindengen that you might buy off Ebay):

I like the colored version better as well

Here are some pictures of my bike. Is one of the orange wires that I'm suppose to connect to?

[BassCliff]

Hi,

In this picture, is the red molex connector (next to the fuse box) for the stator and r/r connections?

Hi BassCliff, yes, I recapped the bullet cable that was coming from the r/r. That is where the r/r before was plugged into so I rewired it the same.

Does that look incorrect?

[BassCliff]

Hi,

It looks OK but I can't really tell what's going on inside the connector. You want to follow Mr. Nessism's instructions in his post. This means that there will be a couple of wires left over, left disconnected. These wires go to the handlebars and were there in order to turn off one leg of the stator when the headlight was switched off. Those wires are no longer necessary because there is no headlight "off" switch. (I seem to recall that the wires are white/red and white/green.) I've documented my stator and r/r replacements on my website. Have you had a chance to look at those files?

The three wires from the stator will connect directly to the three yellow wires on your new regulator/rectifier.



The green wire will connect directly to the negative terminal of your battery, or other suitable ground (NOT the battery box). The red wire will connect to the red wire in the harness (going through the fuse box to the solenoid/battery) or directly to the battery with an inline fuse. The black wire is the "sense" wire and should connect to a switched 12v source. A "switched" source is a wire that has no voltage until the ignition switch is turned on. Usually this connects to the tail light at the brake light switch, using the "Y" connections.
