that's interesting to know. A few weeks ago I bought a cheap chinese digital fuel gauge. Its wires are black, green and yellow. Black is +, green is - and yellow the fuel sender. That seemed random but according to your description it's right

Hi again, it's been a while since I posted in this forum.
Firstly a big thanks to the admin team for restoring my previous identity, after my clumsy attempt to re-register.
( I did eventually find the fork lengths in the FAQ's, which I could have accessed without signing in.
But I was keen to reaquaint myself with fellow Pasoists )
{ or should that be masochists ? }
So to the crux of my problem this time ;
I disconnected the regulator, without making a note first, of the relative position of each wire, as I didn't realise that the connector was not a standard male/female one.
So I followed with interest this post regarding regulator/rectifier wiring.
Funny how just the trouble I was having showed up in the forum, "in the nick of time" as it were.
Or so I thought.
My problem is that I have a California bike, (re-imported I believe #754296 ) which is constantly discharging the battery & has done so since I acquired/inherited it.
So I'm wondering if the reg/rec is working at all, bearing in mind what previous posters have written about 'joining' wires or 'isolating' a wire from the system altogether.

The harness sleeve contains ;

2 ORANGE wires, (presumably from the generator)
2 RED wires [ 1 with PINK attached ]
1 BLUE & 1 BROWN

The reg/rec has ;

2 YELLOW
2 RED
1 BLACK & 1 WHITE

These regulator wires enter a rubber shielding, which seems moulded to the body, & where the wires enter they are numbered 1 to 6 ;

1 = YELLOW
2 + YELLOW
3 = RED
4 + RED
5 = WHITE
6 =BLACK

I had figured that RED to RED would be standard so YELLOW to ORANGE made some sense which left me with BLACK to BROWN & WHITE to BLUE.
Now I'm not so sure that they were connected that way prior to my disconnecting them ?
If so, could I have damaged or burnt out the reg/rec wiring it that way ?

The reg /rec is a Ducati Energia & is fitted with a 6 way terminal block which houses 6 MALE spade connectors.

The harness wires {female spades} are all fitted with individual, what look to me like, 'factory' insulators !
I only say this because the PINK/RED wire.[ PINK being the clock feed according to the wiring diagram ] is in one, as is the fused wire to the battery, where it meets the 'inline' fuse.
From what I read in the previous posts, I am starting to wonder if mine has ever been wired up correctly ?? !
However, I can see no logical reason why the factory would fit a regulator with a 6 point plug & fit 6 wires from the harness with shielded connectors, that neatly fit into the 6 way block, if each wire did not have to be connected in some way ?
The question is, if it left the factory with all 6 wires from each source connected, where do they belong ?
As far as I can see from the info in the thread, my wiring has never been correct !
Or am I missing something ?

I have a lot to relate regarding my 'trials & tribulations' which I will bore you with when I finally get this ****** back out on the road.
Got it MOT'd & taxed & only ridden it about 50 miles :-(

I hope someone takes pity on a poor befuddled pensioner before I go totally bonkers & resurrect the Diversion !!
