..I need to be sure how to wire it so the smoke stays in!
I have searched the board but I have not found a definitive answer on what to connect where.
I have a 5 wire replacement for the 6 wire stock RR. Battery, ground and lamp are no problem but what do I do with the 2 yellows and 1 red of the alternator to connect them to the 2 yellows of the new RR?
Please be gentle, I just don't want to torch anything!
Thanks, Hunter

Thank you Higgy.
One more question: On the original it seems that the red wire to the alternator had 12v on it from the regulator. Do I need to make a 12v connection to that wire externally for this to work now?

NOTE:
For models with 2 x Yellow and 1 x Red generator wires, please use type RR51, with both yellow
generator wires connected together as 1 phase wire to the RR51, and the red generator wire as the
second phase wire to the RR51.

So here's what I have:
When I hook the 2 yellow from the alt together to one yellow of the RR and the red from the alt to the other yellow I get no charge. When I hook the 2 yellow from the alt to the 2 yellow on the RR I do get a charge and about 50 VAC on the yellows at 3k rpm. But will it live in the long run with the red to the alt disconnected?

what regulator are you using ? make and model

Higgy,

It is this one:

The instructions you listed are identical to those supplied with mine. When I hook it up as a 2 wire it works, as a 3 wire it does not.
This is where Mr Spock raises his eyebrow and says "Fascinating".
Any ideas?
I suppose to be safe I should pull the engine cover off and have a look. I just put all the fairing back on!!

looks like the two yellow should be to the stator,should not matter which goes to which
and the red should go to the battery


unless of course you have the 3 wire stator
