    Newbie- Needs help on Rectifier

    Hi ALL
    I am brand new here. I need some advice on a friend rectifier on his 1100 katana. Think its an 82 model
    I will attach a picture but help me if I am wrong
    Red wire - Goes straight to positive
    Black Wire - Earth
    Green Wire - This will go to the ignition to switch on and of for the charging.

    That looks like an aftermarket setup (unless the later bikes are different). What kind of R/R is that?

      Could be a Honda unit. Three wires to stator, then positive, negative and sense wire.

        sure does look like it's wire-coded for an older Honda ..look for Shindengen SH-232 or SH-238 or the like printed on it.

        red=pos to battery ...attach on the other side of the MAIN fuse, not the battery side.
        green=neg= Bike frame ground
        black="sense"(to tailight brown or just marry to red that is, any wire with steady ON positive voltage so not a turn signal or brake light etc.)
        yellows to stator
