Got a problem Jim, about to do the wiring and both your diagrams have the black wire going different places.
In one it's going to a brush In the other the brown wire is going to a brush.
What's the go mate?

Black is ground... earth..
Prolly best to cover that wire terminal with heat shrink or something and tie it off back up the harness. Then it's always there so you can revert back to the other regulator type.
No, I don't think I'd loctite 'em.or is it best to put a dab of loctite on them?
You should already have a switched brown at the reg connector. It's there for both the old and new style regulators. You just need to add to that one and run it down to the brush.I'll also solder a wire from switched power to the brown wire before it goes into the connector.
OK, just reread and I think that's what you meant?You should already have a switched brown at the reg connector. It's there for both the old and new style regulators. You just need to add to that one and run it down to the brush.

Yeah we will know very soon if it's gonna workOK, just reread and I think that's what you meant?
WOOHOO
She's charging!!!
Was intially showing 15-16 volts at battery with multimeter, it's hard to hold two probes and rec the bike.
Come back down to 12.4 with lights on and revving engine.
15 -- 16 can be charging with no regulating
12,4 can be no charging ( and no regulating ) aka Battery Voltage
Should be around 14 V with 2 .5--- 3 k rpm .
ThanksWell not read through all so apologize if wrong
If this was me
I would start with measure the resistance between slip rings on rotor
I would then try to find a stock Yamaha regulator if such a thing is with the bike purchase
It has its shortcomings but if present it is easy to plug in se if that changes anything.
If i get this right you have the pre 1980 alternator
and now with the Nylon screws in.
My guess is ( Right or wrong ) is that the rectifier part is OK in the combo and perhaps the regulator toast
but unsure.
Then what rectifier and or regulator -- It is 2 Separate parts -Is the best for you depends as I see it on what can be bought over counter where you live
Gold Coast Aus have a skyline and is fairly big place ( Wish I was there right now in the shade at the beach )
May I suggest you google here at the forum about type No s the boys have found working '
Print that paper out taking it with you to a reputable auto supplier .. asking for a senior person .. slam that paper on the counter
Asking him to sell you one regulator and rectifier that is matched. Last time i bought i payed around 10 -- 15 $ US
For the regulator
he can have problems with the rectifier but then it is a electrical supplier or online.
Be careful about which pin goes where it is not always the same position
So the ones here on the forum is probably simpler install and Use.
The ones I have been using looks like that
Bosch 3 pin was very common here

While doing a suggested test procedure some smoke escaped from it...
We all know the smoke is valuable and things won't work properly once it escaped.
I think the key may have been re-grounding the black wire running into the reg/rec after doing away with it's original ground source from the inner brush. Although the wiring diagrams show that black ground wire tying into many other ground wires, in reality it doesn't on many of the older models. The black wire running from the inner brush is the only ground supply to the regulator.
ok mate, Ill show you what Ive just ordered off ebay, after much checking part numbers and seeing whats available in Australia.
Presume theyre chinese and dunno if theyre metal screw or nylon screw compatible.
But from what else it fits my guess is similar to the RR32 thats on the bike now and not functioning correctly cos it lost its valuable smoke!
So it'll wire up same as with nylon screws....and hopefully bloody well work!!!
, here we go...
Says out of stock cos I bought the last one....https://www.ebay.com/itm/332667249290
To further mess up my serenity the yellow Victory Kingpins started playing up, stalling , revs jumping up n down...and its not very user friendly.
First go to on them it clean and retighten battery connections and make sure battery is fully charged.....DONE!
Plus I filled the tank with Premium Unleaded and dosed it with Methylated Spirit (96% Alcohol) to clean out the fuel system and injectors.
Ill throw a pair of fresh spark plugs in tomorrow too.
Merry Christmas to All
