So i took my electrical apart to clean up. Now im looking at my wiring diagram for my 1982 GS 750t, and it does not show the rectifier wiring in an intuitive way.



Basically i have a 5 posts sticking out with one being isolated off to the side a bit... kind like this with the units prongs facing downward


i think the ground (black) is [1], but that is all i figure....

this is just a stock pic, but very similar to what i got.

Anyone know where my other wires connect,

Red
Red and White
Yellow
White and blue


Thanx Everyone...and yes i know i should upgrade.... but i would like to test this system before i do that....
 
I also believe that the lone terminal (#1) is a ground. #2 is your +12 volt output, 3, 4 and 5 are your stator inputs.

Now, do yourself (and your bike) a couple of favors:
1. Disregard the stock wiring. Connect the three stator wires directly to the R/R inputs. You will find that the stock configuration takes one of the wires (white/green?) into the main harness, then brings a white/red wire back to the R/R. That is a useless loop that is just begging for problems, so bypass it, just connect the three stator wires directly to the R/R.
2. Get a Polaris R/R. There are a few threads on it, so a search is easy. Look for "series R/R" or "SH775" and you will find plenty of info. I started a thread a year or so ago (maybe longer) that showed how to install one on a 1000G and also gave a list of vendors and prices. I think the current price is around $80, shipped. The advantage of the Polaris R/R is that it is a series-type, rather than the stock shunt-type, which will save your stator from overworking itself to death.

thank you everyone.. i defiantly just got schooled!!!! ha and confused, and then some understanding.....

like my one geology teacher always says, " There is always chaos before understanding".

Don't be afraid to ask questions here. We are (collectively) just a bunch of "know-it-alls" that don't mind sharing what we know.

Many of us can also give you the "why" to do something a particular way or get a particular part, others will just say "you need to do this". Yeah, it's the right thing to do, but some of us like to know the story behind the directive.

hi everybody, new to the site. prior to finding this site i had ordered some cheap generic r/r for my bike. it came in the other day and, like the op, had a question as to the order. i have 3 yellow wires, one red and one black by itself. looking at the diagram i figure the 3 yellow are stator, red +12v out and black is ground? thanks in advance!!! gonna be lurking this site for a while im thinking :-) ps its an '83 gs1100gl
