Hi,

My stock r/r unit had a black ground wire. My Honda replacement r/r unit has a green ground wire and a black "sense" wire.

Do you have a manual for your bike? Manuals make maintenance so much easier. I'm sorry I haven't collected one for your bike. You may have to order one from Clymer or Haynes, they're better than nothing.

Is that silver thing (with the fins) your r/r unit? Or do you have a separate regulator and rectifier? Those wires in your fuzzy pictures are coming out of a plastic gizmo. R/R units are all metal like that silver thing in your last picture. Is there a macro function on your camera? That's what you use for close-up pictures.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

That silver thing with fins is my r/r. it has like plug in slot that is plastic which houses 5 different connecters.

Anyway... a buddy of mine had an 82 gs650ET rectifier that he said he bought as a spare and it was working when he bought it. It had the exact same color wires on all (5 wires). so we used some wires, and wired em up to my bike. All and all, it ran GREAT. full power, and the turn signals dind't add any extra power (a good thing)!.

To be sure of it, i let it sit and cool for acouple of hours. Started it right up and VROOM ran like a champ!.

I will let it sit overnight and test it again tomorrow morning before i become excited.

Any1 have any input?

Thanks

Sounds like you got it. I'm guessing that by turning on your blinker that caused 1 of the other leggs of the RR to produce current which the coils used to fire better. The RR have 3 "leggs" that produce the current 1 of which used to be switched on by the headlight switch until the headlights had to be on at all times. Good luck

So for the last of testing this is what i did today:

started the bike right up. Without a lot of warm up time, started driving around. ran great first few seconds. then started to bog. tried the turn signals, they gave some extra power. After abotu 15 more seconds, ran great for about 30 seconds. then bogged again. then in about 10 seconds, drove great again and stayed that way.

Any1 have any idea what is going on here, im super confused?

thanks

just went for another ride. Ran perfect the whole time.

I have come to the conclusion that i will just let the bike warm up for about 5 minutes or so before i ride and all should be ok. Because i didn't let it warm up at all before (just start and go). and it bogged a little then fixed itself. so warming up for 5 minutes should do the trick.

Any1 have comments on it. Is it normal for a bike to have to warm up a bit before going under load? its only my second bike so i have no idea

Thanks
