Fried Electrical wiring

[Batterylizard]

Hey y’all.

I had a gas leak and jump started my bike the other day, these wires connected to this ground plate lit up on fire. They seems fried but I need help identifying them. I think I can just replace the ground wires and snip the other ones and get new connectors.

Can anyone weigh in on some tips to get this thing back up and running.

Here are some photos of the fried wires

The last pic is the rectifier, the 6-pin connector could also be the rectifier if the wires were 3 white, 1 black & 1 red. Note that the stator is also a 6-pin connector, but contains a green wire, 3 white & 1 black

Thank you, since it’s warm now I’m finally getting around to tackling this. If I were to replace the black wire that goes to the rectifier what gauge would I need to make sure it’s all good. I believe that one is the only one that isn’t usable still.

Thanks for your help

Any other input would be greatly appreciated as well

What year/model? Try a company called Cycle Terminal. Those are Sumitomo .250 connectors. At least that's what they are on my 83. They sell kits for repairs like this . Get the proper crimper as well.

I should also add... I advise against splicing in New wire on cables carrying a lot of current. These splices will be prone to future failure if not done right. If possible, replace the entire length of the wire that was stressed. You may want to evaluate your options, such as getting an whole new harness before ordering up splicing kits and new connectors.
