Ebayed R/R. Where to put it, which one's the ground?

I (think I) want to wire in an R/R from an 06 Yamaha R1 on my 79 GS1000E. In one thread I read, everybody seemed to agree that the best R/Rs come from that bike. However, I also got the impression that that year of R1 had the Shindengen FH012AA on it, whereas this one had a FH014AA. One of very few mentions of this model R/R, and the ONLY instance I could find on the internet of somebody possibly identifying which connector should go to ground on this R/R was here. It's not confidence inspiring, though, since the poster refers to the FH014 as a VR, not an R/R, and instead of "ground", he's saying "-ve", which I am deducing from context is ground. He's a BMW owner, so he talks kinda funny.

Also, I was thinking about where exactly to connect the big feller, since my model of GS apparently came with a separate regulator and rectifier, sort of circuitously wired together through, I believe, the ignition switch. I think I've got this part, but I want to be sure.

Thanks in advance. I tried to glean as much as I could from other posts, cuz I hate crappin' up forums with new threads, but nobody's talking about the FH012.
 
Hi,

How many wires does this r/r unit have and what color are they? I'm not familiar with that part, but it is on the "compatible" list.

Information gleaned from this forum (Thanks Andre!) and other sources:

Compatible Stators and R/R Units:

Thank you for your indulgence,

Fho14 is the same as Fho12. 50a shingden. Not 100% the furukawa connectors fit that one unless you file down the male spades inside the connectors on the RR. There is one number of these that has slightly bigger than 1/4" spade connections. Not sure of it's the Fho10 or the Fho14.

You wire it up exactly the same as the fho12. 3 stator connections on one connector, + & - in the other.
Plenty of info about which is which on here. I can't remember offhand.
 
Hi,

Nice picture Dale. That gives us the pinouts. From left to right; 1. (-), 2. (+), with 3-5 connected to the stator.

This has been my profound glimpse into the obvious for today. :rolleyes:


Thank you for your indulgence,

Sweet. Thanks, guys. I'm going to solder some leads on to the pins, because they're way too wide for typical female spade-type connectors, and I couldn't fit a pair of snips into the plugs. I'm guessing if I just hook the thing up to the same circuits my R and R were hooked to, I'll be in good shape. Thanks a bunch.
 
Better if you blank of the positive lead that goes to the fusebox & connect direct to battery through a 30a fuse.

Also ground direct to battery & to frame.

Solder the stator connections.

Dan :)
