Guys,
thought I would come to the guru's for a definitive answer on this one!
My combined Reg/Rec is testing faulty on the diodes, so I thought I would ask on our UK facebook Forum if anyone new of a replacement that would work, that did not cost near a £100
Been advised that later model Yamaha's XJ650 and even units with fewer connections (5 not 7) would work - yes the colour combination is the same, but I cant see how a bike with a standard Permanent Magnet Alternator would have the same set up as an XS650.
Main concern being that the Green wire out of the XS Unit is providing the "ground" to switch off and on the magnet via the brushes and therefore regulate the charging
Lots of "other" Yam units available, so yes it would be great if other units do work, but i really have my doubts
Thanks
Barrie
