    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Some Diagrams of r/r, and questions about other r/r

below is a scan from my original bike manual, with color added for clairication of the circuit.

there is also two simple diagrams of the original and modified r/r setups.


q1: what to do with the "gr/wh - lightswitch - rd/wh" loop

q1: it would appear that almost any r/r from shindengen will work, but how does one determine ~before~ connecting the wires what /where they go.
ie black to gnd, or to hot lead? multiple colored leads to ?

The answer to Q1 is, Ignore the leftover wiring loop. It's a Suzuki design quirk (read about it in the 'Stator Papers' on this website). If you have bypassed the wires so that all 3 wires from the alternator go to your reg./rect. unit, you have done the right thing. Just coil the leftover wiring out of the way and forget about it.

Re. Q2, I'm not familiar with the "shindengen" make of reg./rect., but you should have 5 wires all up:
1. Three wires to connect to each of the wires coming from the alternator.
2. A black wire which connects to earth -- taking it directly to the negative battery terminal is the best shot.
3. A red wire which takes the regulated and rectified alternator electricity and shoves it into the battery.

You may need to work out by a process of elimination as to which is which, depending on the colours of the "shindengen" unit. You might find the chart at

useful -- it is a more 'generic' version of the one in the 'Stator Papers', and may help you with any different wiring colours on your particular reg./rect. unit.

I've done this mod myself and your diagram for the Honda r/r is correct so far. The smaller gauge black wire goes to a switched 12V supply. 12V when ignition is on, 0V when it is off. I use the orange/white wire on the back of the fuse box (GS1000), but you can connect to that wire anywhere, it's the one that goes to the coils eventually.
