    R/r

    So I got a R/R from Duneage which was a great deal by the way sent him the money and I had the R/R in just a few days.

    But I have a question his R/R came with two black leads that per his wiring diagram say to connect them (going from memory) to the orange power wire from the fuse box and the other to the rear brake light wire.

    My wiring has been hacked up to say the least and I am not sure if this is a good idea or not.

    My bike is a 1981 GS750 mostly stock except for the relay mod.

    Just not sure if I should hook the black wires up or not, or if I have to, my old R/R just has the three stator wires red power wire and a ground.

    Any thoughts....................?????

    The black wire(s) should be the sense wires that monitor the amount of volts going thru the electrical system. Thats why they need to be connected to a 12v powered wire. If voltage is low or high the r/r adjusts the output of volts delivered to the electrical system. They definitely need to be attached to the powered wires.

    PM duaneage for further explanations/instructions.

      OK, give us a list of ALL the wires on the new R/R.

      Obviously, there are three yellows for input.

      One or two red wires to the positive side of the battery?

      One or two ground wires? (Could be black or green.)

      Is there yet another wire (what color?) that is to be connected to the brake wire?
      (By the way, that should be to the wire before the brake switch, not after it.)

      If Duane said to connect a wire in a certain way, why doubt him?

        I wasnt really doubting him was just a little confused between the old one with less wires and the new one with more wires. Just wanted to make sure I was doing it right before I fried anything.

          Follow this diagram, should work OK

          1981 GS650G , all the bike you need
          1980 GS1000G Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely

            Make sure you have a good 12v at the connection point with a fully charged battery otherwise I believe it may trick the RR into overcharging the battery (i.e. it's sensing a lower voltage than it really is due to voltage drops in old wiring). Some bikes can lose a volt going through the ignition switch.
