Thanks @Jim much appreciated. I updated my drawing as well https://imgur.com/MuK6OAr

@Jim so I finally got around to buying that Fiat regulator you pointed me to. It took a while as I had to wait until I was stateside. My understanding is it’s green to green. Red goes to my brown wire from the stator and also splits off to feed power in to the lights/horn/etc. And the body...

Thanks @Jim !

@Jim by your own post here http://www.xs650.com/threads/how-do-i-test-my-stock-alternator.53079/page-3#post-564601 is says that '79 and older would be type B. But you're saying the image of the one in my wiring diagram is type A? So either the pervious owner did a modification or some '79's use...

Resurrecting this discussion mainly because there's a great amount of information here and I'm going crazy right now with a charging issue. I'm curious how relevant this information is to the '79 XS400? I'm currently not seeing anything above ~12.6v no matter what RPM my motor is at. When I...
