Honda RR installation

Hello,

Back again with stupid questions, but I'm confused. I got a Honda RR from Duaneage (quick ship - thanks!). But it looks like my bike may have been spliced around on by a po.

The old RR had a red positive wire, b&w frame ground wire, a yellow stator wire, a blue/white stator wire, and an orange/white wire that went to a plastic plug harness connector (pic):

The stator plugged into the yellow, blue/white and the "loose" green/white wire that isn't part of the plastic harness connector. I'm assuming the green/white wire was spliced into the orange/white wire that came out of the old RR, but I can't tell where.

So, I assuming:

The three yellow stator wires on the new RR go to the yellow, blue/white and green/white wires (overriding spliced orange/white and green/white going directly from the yellow wire on the new RR to the green/white wire from the stator).

The green wire with the eyelet type connector is the frame ground.

And the red wire goes to the red wire.

But where does the black wire on the new RR go?

Frustrated. Thanks in advance for any input.

Is it possible this a non-Suzuki RR that was retro fit? Just can't figure out the orange/white coming from the RR, but the stator not connecting to that wire (unless of course it was spliced to that "stray" green/white wire)

Cant really follow the rest of your wires

Cant really follow the rest of your wires

But that black is the R/R sense wire for the 6 wire R/R that has been described (i.e. Honda unit) v.s. the 5 wire Suzuki units. Duaneage probably e-mailed you the schematic; check your e-mail or he will answer this thread.

I just thought I would kick start you . Not to worry. The extra wire is used to sense battery voltage. However because it pulls a little current when attached, Duaneage has set you up to read the voltage through a switched supply. I think he suggest using a tail light as that is off when the bike is off, so the R/R will not drain the battery and when the bike is on the hot side will be energized.

Check your schematic you are just looking for something that is hot when the bike is on but off when it is not. The plug is made to insert into any available bullet connector that is switched as described.

I'm sure Duaneage will elaborate.

Ah...That makes sense now.

The good news: I got the RR on there and everything works - at least just as well as it did before hand. The bad news: Still not charging right, and I indeed need a new stator. It was worth a shot for $40, though. And probably a good insurance policy.

Still not sure if that orange/white wire is spliced in or original, but I just ran it the was it was before. If it's spliced, it's way down in the wire bundle. Just seems odd.

Thanks for the heads up on the black wire. That had me more than a little confused.
 
Hi Mr. bryan,

Did Mr. duaneage send you one of these with your part?

Feel free to check my little BikeCliff website for other maintenance guides with lots of pictures.

The green wire on the Honda part is the ground wire. Run it directly to your negative battery terminal. Connect the black wire into the rear brake light switch using the "Y"-type connector (with bullets) that Mr. duaneage put on there.

It also sounds like one of your stator legs was wired through a headlight switch on the handlebar. If you don't have a headlight switch then you can leave those wires out of the circuit, they're useless anyway. Just connect the three stator output wires directly to the three yellow r/r input wires. Then red to red, green to battery negative, and black to the brake light switch. You're done.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Fantastic. This solves the mystery of the orange/white wire I guess. I think Duaneage posted this in a previous thread where he was trying to help me out, but I forgot about it by the time I got around to actually installing the RR.

Now I just need to wait for my Rick's stator to get here, and I'll use your tutorial Bass cliff. Pics help me out a lot as a less-than- amateur mechanic.

Thanks to everyone.
