78 GS1000 rectifier/regulator wiring

S

Forum Newbie
​Hi, Looking to wire a honda reg/rec to the gs1000, I have seen a lot information, but I cant work out the wiring that I have got?
coming from my stator, I have 2 yellow wires, 2 white and blue and 1 green and white?
I think the 2x white blue wires are the 3 phase for head lights (do I blank them off?)
Green white wire is a mystery to me?

The rect /reg (5 wires) has 2 yellow, 1 green, 1 black, 1 red.
I understand that the green is ground, red to fuse/live feed and two yellows to stator.....but I am 1 yellow short for the stator......is the black a live feed, ground or another stator wire?

any help please, stator.jpg

Could that R/R be from a single phase charging system?
 
It was the one that was on the bike, but the bike was a non runner in bits and some of the wire connections looked a bit brown...possibly cooked, just want to rewire the r/r and to see if it still charges. Bikes have to run with headlights on here all day, so the 3 phase isn't necessary I believe, reg.jpg
 
The 78/79 1000s came with separate regulator and rectifier, this the extra wires
Check the wiring diagram
 
There are 3 legs to the stator. Use 3 wires of different colors. Youll have 2 left over that can just dangle by the battery box. I am assuming the replacement RR is a 3 wire????
 
Your GS has a 3 phase stator/generator. You will need a 3 phase regulator whether you use the "headlight loop" or not. Eliminating that loop only gets rid of some possible bad connections that you don't need in that loop that essentially goes no where. It does not reduce the number of phases on the system.

Ed is suggesting the regulator you have is not compatible.
