Yellow Wires burned up

[Strat]

My battery quit charging and I knowticed that a fuse was blown, I changed the fuse and rode my bike for a few days (battery not charging well) then I realized that the 2 yellow wires going to what looks like a voltage regulator/rectifyer where fried. I have not done any test to see what the problem is but I suspect my rectifyer is shorting out the coils on my stator.

I own a 1983 GS-750e
thanks again guys

Sometimes those yellow wires can melt at the connectors due to bad connections (and not because something else failed). There are 3 of them.

But You say the charging system wasnt working and you found a blown fuse, so it sounds like you have a probelm of something failed. Probably At least the R/R, and maybe the stator also.

Was it the The Main Fuse (15 amp)? Did it blow again?

Have you found the stator papers in the garage section?

You have a volt-ohm multi meter?

Will need a meter to check the stator.

Classic RR failure.

Fire!!!

I was working on my 1100 the other day...letting it idle to check for oil leak. First I saw a puff of smoke and then fire. My r/r wires actually were burning, right at the regulator. Main fuse blew too. Good thing I had the side cover off. Anyways wired in a different R/R since I had one. Been fine for a week and having good output little over 14 volts.
