8 fingers. 4 north and 4 south.I guess there's another multiplier there, Jim; how many magnetic poles in the rotor?

Being picky LOL but won't it cross the 0 point and be a true AC?Yep. Pardon my piss poor inking... but the neutral output would look something like this....

What part of "piss poor" didn't you get?Being picky LOL but won't it cross the 0 point and be a true AC?
I'd have to go look also, but I think 4 coils per leg... one coil for each N or S finger.Have to look at the stator I butchered up but each leg also is probably what? 3 discrete coils spaced around the center?
They're in good company. Boeing, Airbus... McDonnel Douglas et al call it that also.And yomama calls it an AC generator....
There's no debate, it's AC.I see there's some debate about whether it's AC or DC from the yellow wire.
So long as the power to the starter solenoid circuit is supplied via the ignition circuit on R/W wire (as all models are) the kill switch and key switch will act as "fail-safe" should the starter button "stick"/fail. The safety relay doesn't add extra protection in that regard. The only way you're gonna result in the starter motor running continuously is for the solenoid to stick closed mechanically and the safety relay won't affect that either.My main concern is when this switch is defective there could be a permanent working starter motor.
Hmm Think all the Yamaha's I've seen use the starter button to supply ground to the solenoid. A button that's not on the bars creates some issues on an old school carb bike where you want to be manipulating the throttle during the start sequence.On models 306, 366 and 476 the safety relay switches the positive wire to the starter button and from there it goes to the starter relay
Nice drawing.
I kiped off the inter-tubes.Nice drawing.

Nope. It alternates...4G why do you say AC relay? The yellow wire should be more or less steady
Nope. Again, It alternates.If the voltages are three symmetrical sine waves evenly spaced, the center voltage should be constant
I was going to show mathematically why the yellow wire stays at 1/2 the peak to peak voltage...
Perfectly correctly, too.And yomama calls it an AC generator....
Of course you're right about the button, however you skipped a yr's diagram: the one that shows the safety relay switching ground: 1974. IDK, memory fails, maybe this diagram is wrong??.......View attachment 233019View attachment 233020
