jblackbird2000 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Ok, so I'm back with more charging issues. I've finally had enough, and I'm going to be replacing my R/R. But as you can see from the pic, it's not the standard R/R that some 99/00 birds have, that's why I was so hesitant to replace it. But finally, I'm not getting any charge to the battery, even though the Stator is putting out about 50VAC at 5K rpm. Ok, so take a look at this R/R and tell me I'm not crazy. Everybody else that's posted pics only has one plug, why does mine have two? And more importantly, if I were to go get the 99 R1 R/R and the pigtail from Mike (bartonmd), how the hell would I tell him to wire it? Is that even an option for me?

Jay It looks just like a '99 - '00 R/R to me. Mine has two connectors too. One (three yellow) goes to the Stator and the other goes into the wiring harness. The ones you see with one connector are either a '97 - '98 R/R or the Yamaha replacement that many of us are using. Go see the R/R harness thread in the Sales section... Lots of pics.

John01XX Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I am to understand that the FI models all have two plugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am to understand that the FI models all have two plugs, I have no idea, but my guess would probably be yes. I'm still trying to get my head around all of this. Jay EDITED TO ADD: Upon further scrutiny, I still don't see all 8 wires like I have in any of the pics in the R/R harness for sale section, but I have a PM into Mike now. You have two green, two red/white and one black wire too? I only see spots for 6 pins in the connector. :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 97-98 dont even have a plug coming off the RR just a "female" socket for the plug on the loom :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 All the FI models have (2) plugs... The '99-2000 models have the short leads with 2 plugs, which include: (3) stator wires in one connector In the other connector, there are: (2) red "+B" wires (2) green "ground" wires (1) "turn the R/R off while starting bike" black wire. The R1 R/R does not use this, so it will not be connected. The '01 and later models have the R/R mounted on the right side of the bike, and have the 33" leads from the R/R to get back over to the left side of the bike where the connectors are. The plugs are the same as the earlier FI models... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblackbird2000 Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Excellent, thanks for the reply Mike. I was just concerned that I had a few extra wires than I had previously seen posted, and wanted to make sure I wasn't going down a road with the R1 R/R that couldn't be navigated. Based on your reply, it sounds like I too can switch to the R1 Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay I had the same problem back in June as I replaced the battery and after a few days the battery would not have enough charge to start the bike. I also had a reading of 50VAC at 5k so I ordered a new R/R and have not had a problem since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
