Extra wiring loop / stator install

[Mr.Marshall]

Hey folks,

I just had to install a new regulator/rectifier and stator in my 82 gs650. Is there any reason why I have to keep the extra wiring loop in the system? Can I just connect the three stator wires directly to the three regulator wires , put red to red and black to ground then be done with it? That would leave a green/white and a red/white wire just hanging.

Thanks,
Greg.

Wiring direct is the way to go, also make sure your ground is good.

It is a good idea to have the headlight on at all times, required in most states. Mod eliminates the loop & its connections just leave the wires hang. Make sure to add a ground wire to the battery from the reg

Great! Thanks for confirming, and the tip about running the regulator ground direct to the battery negative terminal.

This is a helpful forum!
