    Stator + reg/rec question (wiring)

    i recently bought a replacement stator for my '84 GSXR 400, got it all into the engine and now have run into a small problem.
    the stock wiring had 3 bullet connectors for the stator instead of a clip, so i have no idea which wire was for which leg of the stator.. and which terminal on the reg/rec it connects to..

    so my question is this, can i just arbitrarily hook up the leads for each of the legs and the reg rec will sort out which to use in which situation? or is there a specific a to a, b to b kind of setup?

    any help is greatly appreciated..

    for reference it's a 3 stage stator with a 5 prong reg/rec (power, gnd, and 3 prongs to stator)

    The order of the stator wires does not matter. Consider GS Charging Health (in my signature) in making your installation, especially grounds.

                i have a couple more but i think they're on my phone

                i bought it here in vancouver, but it was originally only sold in asia and europe so it's an import (grey market)

                there is also CBR400R and CBR400RR kicking around. my friend has an NSR400 so many awesome 400 sport bikes out there.

                they are great cause they have decent power (mine is 59hp, 29ft-lb tq), and insurance is cheap. i pay around 70$/mth for insurance.

                    Awesome. Yeah, very few of those in the states but I would love to get my hands on one. Yamaha brought quite a few of the FZR400's and of course Suzuki has the little 400cc bandit but nothing like those razor sharp CBR's and GSXR's from Japan.

                        Does this bike have an alternator?

                            obviously something funny is going on. Looks at what all you changed. Either reverse it or disconnect it to see if it goes away.
