No, the wire gets hot because of Heat.Originally posted by rwnielsen View Post
You need current with the resistance else no heat.
Also in layman's terms we could say that a hot wire is an indication of alot of smoke trying to escape a wire.

Make sure your connections are in excellent shapeComment

You have a Rectifier/Regulator.
Cut all wires from the R/R going in to the loom and solder them directly to the stator wires. Don't forget to shrink wrap.
I also lose the large bullet connecter from the battery and solder that directly.
Run a ground from the weak ground on the R/R itself and run it to the frame. Keep the ground on the R/R and extend it using eye connecters that are soldered at the crimp and 16-18G wire.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
