R/R connectors

I just got a replacement R/R. It's from an '04 ZX10 FH010BA. It did not come with the wiring harness and now I need to connect it to the GS850 wires. I noticed it has spade connectors somewhat larger than normal. Is there a place where I can get an OEM like connector? Any other solutions that would ensure the connections are not too exposed to the elements?

Thanks,

Raz
 
Any good connections will work, the bullets that Suzuki used are among the worst.

Crimp connectors, bigger modern spade connectors, a good quality block type connector with three wires, even twist, solder and shrink are all better options than the bullets.
 
I meant the connection right at the R/R. It has two housings, one with 3 large spade connectors and one with 2 of them. Can I just use the appropriate female spades? Does this connection need to be water tight?
 
The Eastern Beaver ones have 1/4" female inside the plugs... if a 1/4" spade doesn't fit neither will these.

There is one of this type of RR that looks the same as the others but has bigger than 1/4" spades. It's either the FH010 or the FHO14 I can't remember which.
 
Here we go....

* Note that if you have an FH014 from an 08+ CBR1000, these connector plugs will NOT fit that device.

 
One other option is to attach the appropriate width female spade terminals on your harness, plug them into the spade terminals on the R/R and then fill the cavity with electrical grade (low acid) RTV. That's what I did when installing an FET R/R on my bike and it's working well.

Excellent suggestion. I think I'll go this route.
 
one more thing... How do I connect this thing? I searched on this site and only found a schematic for a 6 wire r/r. I think the plug with the 3 spades connects to the W/R, W/B and Y wire (order does not matter?) but what about the red wire and ground? They obviously get connected to the other two spades but which is which?
