1982 GS750T - R/R Connector Help Required...

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Everything there looks same as mine, but your 2 empty slots on the right where I have 2 reds. If I get a chance tomorrow, I will trace them to where they go to/come from exactly, If I can do it without tearing everything apart. My Tiger is down at the moment, and the weather is just too nice to be without a bike.

Since your wiring has been modified by the PO, you don't necessarily need a red wire going to the fuse box.

The PO may have taken that 2nd red wire from your battery positive post, that went to a bullet connector down near the electrical panel, unplugged it, and connected it to the red wire that goes up to the ignition switch (since the + side of the ignition switch is hot all the time, even from the factory).

When the ignition switch is turned on, power comes back down the orange wire to power up the top three fuses of the fuse block. Where that orange wire enters the fuse box is where the PO picked up the sensing voltage for the old regulator. That way the sensing wire going into the old regulator is only powered up when the ignition key is on.

Since this is only a guess, so to verify, where does that 2nd wire from your battery + post end up?

Hey Jim,

I'll see if I can find out tomorrow. Should be fun =)

The 555 is a Mosfet but not a series RR. Like a lower power version of the FH012 that everyone moved to before we learnt about the SH775 I think. The Elektrex you see in the Post is long out of business. They were a US company that made parts for Harley's it just so happened that they had one RR that worked well for the GS.

What you see in the UK is either just coincidence or someone trying to take advantage of the name....
