    New reg rec bought.. but whats what?

    Hi as advised by the site I bought a new REG/REC from electrex-world its a RR10-a

    The only problem is it has one red wire, an earth and 3 yellow wires so I'm a bit lost.

    Does anyone know which should be fitted to what? i did try and join it up to the male female connectors.

    I have tried a few combo's but not sure if it's right or not. I have it running approx 13.20 yet when I rev the engine it decreases to approx 12 but then goes back up to around 13.20... is this right please?

    wiring an r/r

    How could you be a bit lost. You took one off correct? Go to basscliff's tutorial and/or look up postplayer lots of great and well explained info. Bmac

        Sounds like you had the original R/R and stator on there.

          Yeah i think it was the original one, it had five wires, but just different colours.

          Really not technical, ... i Know the red goes to red and earth is fine, just not sure about the other 3 wires.

          Are the 3 remaining wires just stator wire, does it matter what order?

            wiring

            No, The 3 wires from the stator hook to the reg. no particular order, just very good connections. Follow the grounding procedure from Postplayr. Bob

              The same question came up very recently and I went to making a point to pint connection spreadsheet and so if you try and do it by colors alone it can be a bit confusing. See this post with the attached table.

              After installing an aftermarket R/R you should have three open wires to tape back. The table shows that.

                  The 3 wires go to the Stator & the order does not matter. If you had it hooked up like this and the battery voltage was 13.20 V at idle that 's OK per the Stator Paper. When you revved it up to 5000 rpm and the battery voltage drops you have voltage foldback due to excessive resistance in a electrical connection. Focus on the Fuse box & relay connections, they need to be real shinney.

                  Suggestion: List your GS Year/Model
