    does the regulator have to be a five wire?

    I have a fried R/R on my 82 GS450L. I have a good regulator on my Sea Doo that I'm parting out (was a battery equipped sit down model), but its a 4 wire model. 2 yellows, a red, and a black. Any way I can fudge this thing into working for a few days until I can get a honda unit shipped in from eBay?

    Hi

    2 yellow means that it is only regulating 1 faz.
    Or put another way.In the Suzuki there is 3 faz.
    So you will regulate only 1 ,and fry the other 2.

      I wouldn't reccomend it. using a single charging phase isn't enough to get your bike acutally charging.

      If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.

        It would be possible if it had 3 yellows and a red. It would probably then be grounded through the case, not requiring a black wire.

            Lynn nailed it...it would not be able to handle the current draw that a motorcycle requires...you would burn up the regulator and the stator before it was all over.
