Confounded, but well-grounded

You could add two fuses.


you see the two red wires going into the fuse holder.

1 goes to the the electrical system and the other one to the RR

Cut them and add one fuse to one and one fuse to the other.


I even removed the small red wire going to the battery terminal and used the solenoid's battery connection as the main power feeder from the battery to the RR and from the battery to the electrical system.


You will have one fuse from the RR to the battery that is fused at 15 amps and one from the battery to the bikes electrical system fused at 15 amps


That way your charging system will blow a fuse when it fails.

As you can see by the picture. If the regulator Fails on your bike the way it is wired, It will definitely send all its power to the electrical system if it stops regulating and possibly fry something just because its directly wired in without a fuse.

The main fuse could blow and that is the last thing holding the voltage down.

Luckily when my originals went It blew the main fuse and the head light and everything was dim after. But It got me home because only one of the 3 parts of the 3 phase charging system failed and it was still regulating well enough if I kept the RPM's down.

I honestly didn't know anything was wrong untill my turn signals wouldn't flash below certain RPM's

I removed the old fuse box and replaced it with a new one. No change in performance (turn signal still solid until 3000 RPM for the left one, 5500 for the right one)
I then replaced all signal light bulbs with the same type as there had been one or two funky ones in there. All of the sudden, the turn signal blinks as it should on left side, but not the right. I wonder if the brake lights should also be changed?

The last thing I did today was to cut off the little plastic 'retarder' on the underside of the headlight switch. Now I can shut the headlight off.

I hope to go on a short trip tomorrow so that's all for now. Will work on more of this after Monday. There is a battery charger at my destination, just in case.

Check how much voltage you have now with the new fuse holder.

if its good check at the orange wire from your turn signal relay to ground, you should have the same voltage,

If the first test is low and the second test is the same then its still a charging issue.

If the first one is good and the second is low then its wiring and we can narrow it down from there.

By using that switch it does two things, 1 removes one part of the charging system and disconnects power to the headlight.

Unless you wired the stator directly to the RR already that is.
