    The Suzuki wiring sends two legs of the stator voltage directly into the R/R, and the other leg goes up to the handlebar switch. If the headlamp is on (like in the US where the lamp is on all the time), that extra stator leg turns around at the plug and then feeds into the R/R. On bikes where there is a manual headlamp switch, but if the headlamp is off, I think the voltage goes nowhere.

    I'm pretty sure it's okay to feed the voltage straight into the R/R but it's recommended to keep the headlamp on all the time. I'm not certain if bad things would happen if you kept your headlamp off but it should be on for safety sakes anyway.

      Still confused but getting a tad clearer. I should have mentioned that this bike might be a German model imported to Canada and looking at the schematic it seems that switch has an always on component (i.e. the white /green connects to the white/red). In addition, the white/green coming from the stator is shown as being Green/white tracer and it does indeed go into the green/white lead coming from the harness. Where the connector from the harness to the controls join, the Green/white becomes White/green. What a dogs breakfast.

      So I guess I'll plug that stator lead into the green/white.....and pray that it all works.

      Thanks for all the input guys and sorry for all the confusion.

      Cheers,

        I think you want the White w/green tracer, not Green w/white tracer although I don't have a Can/Germ wiring diagram.

          Well this is where all the confusion is coming from. I have the factory manual and there are 6 different wiring diagrams but they all show Green/white tracer coming from the stator going to Green/white (through the harness) and then becoming White/green at the connector to the right hand controls.

          When I actually have the stator wire in my hand it looks white/green tracer to me.

          If they had the same colour in reality and in the manuals we wouldn't have wasted half a day ( or more). Time we'll never get back

          Thanks for all the help, hopefully I won't need to bug you folks again for awhile but somehow I doubt that.

          Cheers,
