could anyone upload a photo of the rectifier and the connectors.

i need to see photos of where the 3 heavy yellow wires from the regulator go into the 3 pin "t"socket they are connected to.

Just so i can trace the wires on mine and get a new connector socket fitted. Mine came with a bodge non standard connector. Interestingly it may be worth while checking these yellow wires , down to the alternator connector block halfway up the frame on the left hand side.

I checked another wiring loom and was surprised to see evidence of premature ageing due to current load or resistance due to poor connectors,making the wires brittle and inflexible just at the terminal block ends.

any help appreciated.

Not sure whether these will help.

Twisty- Regarding the 'bodge non standard connector' -if you are talking about the 'chocolate block' type connector under the pillion seat- this is supposed to be there believe it or not. I agree that connectors like this have no place on a motor vehicle but this was one of the warranty updates. My bike had it fitted from new so I don't know what the 'unsuitable' connector they removed was like but I imagine it was a small and poorly spec'd AMP Supaseal. If you see evidence of wire damage near this connector then bear in mind it may have occurred before the 'chocolate block' update was done on your bike. Check that all of the terminals are sufficiently tight ( not overtight though...) but leave the choccy block as it is...

It's probably worth tracing the wires directly from the alternator and seeing what this is putting out (pre regulator)

appreciate the trouble you've went to but i still need an actual phot0 of the regulator as fitted on the bike to see how the 3 yellow wires connect onto the connector.

i'm not sure if mine is wired up correctly and i don't want to burn the harness through overheating of the loom.

like everything else , a diagram was made before the "normal" domestic type terminal block was removed. Then in the middle of putting on a temporary set of connectors so that i could swap rectifiers at will to see what one was defective , my pal pulled the wiring too hard and out popped the wires from the new connectors. Because they are all the same colour i'm not sure if he has them in the right place, thats why i need a photo.

so really i'm looking for someone who has the black or white "t" type connector on the 3 yellow wires.fAILING THAT I'D NEED SOME ONE TO TELL ME HOW THESE WIRES RELATE TO THE 3 PIN PLUG HALFWAY DOWN THE FRAME(from alternator)
in the meantime i'll study the wiring diagram if i can find it
nearest pic i can get is from the manual on page 238 but not enough detail
just realised that what you call a choc block i call something else. WHAT A PILE OF DIY crap to put on a bike as an upgrade. I thought it had been done as a diy job. Now i know that it was done on purpose i'll think about checking that plug halfway down the frame i was referring to.

this was the type fitted to the end of the 3 yellow wires on my bike but i think i'll replace the diy warranty one with these
GENUINE ANDERSON 30 amp POWERPOLE CONNECTORS ebay about £6 for a set of five male and female with connectors


if the domesic type block was fitted as a warranty upgrade (30 amp block connector) chances are the connector i was talking about , that is, just at the removable frame cover half way down the left hand side is probably not up to handling the load either.
As i said earlier , on the other loom i looked at this was showing signs of overheating.
i've trawled the manual , i must be blind,or senile , where's the wiring diagram schematic

so any photos of the rectifier and yellow wires connecting ?, please
