    DIY Reg/Rec. 5twins and Jim

    This section deals with the '80 and newer A type regulator system. For '79 and earlier bikes, see comment #2. Comment #3 discusses using modern rectifiers. So, I've been getting quiet a few PM's lately about how I wired my reg/rec on the 80SG resto. I know there's a lot of info on this site...

    So I'm looking to get rid of some of the extra electrical components and wanted to go to a combination reg/rec (I also already know that I can get a separate reg and rec for cheap on ebay and what-not). I have a stock charging system so I started to google and this was something I found that...

    Stella - 1977D survivor, back on the road.

    I've been having a great time over the last two weeks as I become further acquainted with my 77D, mostly stock, Stella. After the first basic safety checks and oil change, etc. I put her quickly into her role as my daily ride. Most days are 5-10mi, but the last week has given me a few longer...

    Regulator question

    Might seem like a dumb question but will the regulator short if the housing touched the frame/ground? Ive noticed the all regulators I've dealt with have the rubber grommets on their frames and wasn't sure if this was due to vibration dampening or to keep from shorting. Also when making a...

    Regulator/Rectifier

    I have a 1981 xs650 that has been having some charging issues. I went through the trouble shooting guide and did everything that I could to the best of my knowledge. My brushes were definitely to short so I replaced them. However the voltage still does not increase when revving the engine to the...

    Blue wire on Regulator/rectifier?

    Hello, I am trying to rewire my chopper. The previous owner did a quickie job and ran most of the wires from the ignition post on the keyswitch with no fuses: I am putting in a small fusebox and installing new wires. I think I have everything figured out except the blue wire coming...

    What do I do with the black wire?

    I'm performing the Chrysler regulator mod on a 1978 XS650. The stock regulator has 3 wires (Brown, Green, and Black). The brown wire connects to the lower pin on the new regulator, and the green wire connects to the upper pin. What do I do with the black wire? Is it used to ground the regulator?

    Can I use this regulator-rectifier

    Hi guys, Looking at regulator/rectifiers to replace my stock piece - is this going to work? I notice that its only got a pigtail of 5 wires (YYYRB) and the Mikes XS one has (YYYGORB) - so I assume it would just be wiring into my rectifier...

    Permanent Magnet Alternator

    Has anyone ever done the conversion to a permanent magnet alternator? I've heard of people using the alternator off of an RD350. I know there is a good write up here http://www.xs650.org.au/Technical%20Info/Alternators.htm but has anyone here done this?
