Honda SH541 wiring question

[On Wisconsin]

Please tell us you bypassed the factory harness and wired the stator directly into the R/R.

Affirmative.

Also, that you made sure the R/R is grounded to the battery or a proper frame mount point.

One of the greens to the battery neg and the other to a proper frame point.

Best to check for voltage loss on the power return though the fuse box.

Will do.

The charging system wiring is very problematic, and your bike's charging system won't be reliable until you rewire it.

Thanks much. Related - a friend of mine just happened to have a spare SH541, so I will able to check if that is the issue. I wouldn't believe that two SH541s would be bad.

I also misspoke before - the sense wire is on the wire that goes to the rear light. (Someone might have been dumb and tried to wire it to the brake light wire after misreading the wiring diagram. No clue who that could have been.) Now it is correct.

Thanks again. Hopefully I can get this sorted tomorrow. Riding days are going to get sparse around here.
