TOASTED R/R *PIC* But why?
Take a look at my Toasted OEM R/R:
Only thing I modified was the black and red directly to the battery terminals. Worked with Zero issues for the last 2k miles
Started with smoking wire at R/R from one of the stator phases one day. Ok resistence some where. Changed the connectors to gold plated and no more smoking. Checked phases and still all reading around 84V at 5k. Went and checked battery terminals for V's and everything looked correct. All of a sudden blue "light" (probably a flame) came from the back side of the R/R. Pulled it off the next day and this is what I found. Honda CM is on it's way but my question. What the Hell Caused this to happen?!Comment

Before you power everythng back up, try this.
Remove the battery and connect the - lead to the - battery wire.
Connect the + lead to the + battery terminal.
Pull all fuses and then measure the resistance. Wiggle all the wires in the harness. When ou replace the regulator do it again before putting the battery in.
After the RR is replaced connect jumper cables to the motorcycle battery on the floor and connect the + jumper cable lead to the battery + cable and the - jumper cable to the engine. Connect the engine last!
Start the bike. Check the voltages. Having the battery out lets you troubleshoot easier and see what is going on.1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
