Newbie- Needs help on Rectifier

[baascois]

Hi ALL
I am brand new here. I need some advice on a friend rectifier on his 1100 katana. Think its an 82 model
I will attach a picture but help me if I am wrong
Red wire - Goes straight to positive
Black Wire - Earth
Green Wire - This will go to the ignition to switch on and of for the charging.

Thanks Francois

That looks like an aftermarket setup (unless the later bikes are different). What kind of R/R is that?

Could be a Honda unit. Three wires to stator, then positive, negative and sense wire.

sure does look like it's wire-coded for an older Honda ..look for Shindengen SH-232 or SH-238 or the like printed on it.

red=pos to battery ...attach on the other side of the MAIN fuse, not the battery side.
green=neg= Bike frame ground
black="sense"(to tailight brown or just marry to red that is, any wire with steady ON positive voltage so not a turn signal or brake light etc.)
yellows to stator
