Tying all 3 legs of stator to ground

[HiSPL]

Do I need to do any thing to the wires running to and from the light switch after doing this? Or do they become dead weight?....

TIA

I think you should go get a fire extenguisher and another stator. You can connect the three stator wires directly to the regulator/rectifier, but not to ground.

Where did this idea originate?

after doing what?

8O Did I say that!

Hehehe.....

Yeah I meant reg/rec not ground! I just wanted to know if I should do something with the headlight circuit after bypassing it?

WOW! Can you tell its a busy weekend for me! :roll:

[gtsg01]

The third leg of the charging circuit is switched ON or OFF by the headlight switch. (on bikes that have one)

If your bike is not equipped with the headlight switch, the only thing you will gain is losing a couple of feet of wire and a connector.

I bought the optional switch for my GS1100GK that has the light switch. I disconnected the part of the switch that turns off the third leg when the headlight is off and connected it directly to the Reg/Rect and have had no trouble with the charging system.

Yeah mine has the switch.... Thanks for the info.

Does your cousin use jumper cables connected directly to the battery to remove the stator over????

[HiSPL]

Sure does! How did you know.....

Man when he wraps them cables around that stator cover, you better not be standing in front of it cause it just shoots across the room man, I tell you what .

On bikes without a switch the 3rd wire goes all the way to a plug in the headlight bucket. On the other side of the plug there's wire that connects the stator pin to another pin in the plug and it goes all the way back to the regulator! So, the two wires sticking out are actually both ends of a single wire. =D> I got a good laugh out of that when I was looking through the wiring diagram.

ps, if you get the booster cable windings wrong your bike will be pulled towards the nearest parked (or moving!) car.

maybe that could be used in a racing situatuion steve.???? 8O 8O

IT COULD EVEN REPLACE THE YAMMAHA V BOOST
