    heres the picture, its missing a bolt on the other side, jeez closeup of bike does bring out some of its ugly, but everything's in fine mechanical condition

    carbs are disconnected and battery is aswell, the batteries sitting in the cardboard box lol only tested it once on bike just to see; probably gonna remove the starter cover off after this post

      starter cover is removed; straight shot with the wire seems to be no problem to take out and reinstall another, however the 3 wires that connect to the stator are one yellow, and two are white with another colour, the new stator i have is 3 yellow wires no difference at all, do the connections matter?

      bough new stator before testing old one anyone want a possibly working one

        Connections don't matter.
        What regulator/rectifier have you got and is the bike still wired with a loop up to the headlight on one of the phases?
        The loop would have been a green/white leaving the stator and returning as a red/white to the rectifier.

        Consensus here is to eliminate the loop by wiring the stator direct to the rectifier and get a series R/R to limit the excess charging current being dumped back into the stator windings.

          Agree. Whatever color they are, connect all three wires directly to the three inputs on the R/R.

          You mention that your current wires are: "one yellow, and two are white with another colour", but your picture shows three red wires. Please make sure you are playing with correct wires. The stock wiring was, indeed one yellow, and two are white with another color, those other colors are green and blue. None of those are shown.

            Not the stator wires but the wires the stator is connected to have those 3 wires.

            Also my regulator is posted in another thread and I dont know about the loop I'll have to check

                  ordered the plug kit and the crimp tool.

                  i do still have the headlight loop but somebodies obviously been through the wiring and it seems to be a mess atleast in my opinion. will post pic or vid showing the connections and all.

                  there a pdf or link to doing this?
