(LOF)Gladiator Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I have a 97 Blackbird and got a new regulator/rectifier. I had to cut the original connector that plugs into it. I am planning on hard wiring it but I dont know which post is red and which is green on the regulator. Can someone look at theirs and tell me which side (right or left) does the red wire go to. I know the three yellows and how they connect. If you look into the plug with the 3 yellow on the bottom which side is red (right or left) Thanks in advance Gladiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I looked in the manuall and in the diagram, going from left to right ( if you look at the RR with the plug on the top ), they go Yellow, Yellow, Yellow, Green, Red/White.... Does it help ? Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suf Daddy Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 The leads look like red & white (+) for Battery Charging line as page 16-9 says in the '97 Service Manual. Groundline: "Green and ground" Looking at the left side of the bike (Clutch) Rectifier is under the plastic cowl just below the seat. I had to remove four allen bolts. 1. at the cowl front leading edge by gas tank 4mm? 2. 6mm? above foot peg 3. 6mm? LONGEST on the back grab bar 4. 4mm? under rubber plug next to #3 above. CAREFULLY Twist cowl up and out of way. Rectifier plug as looking straight UP at it. Yellow Yellow X X X X X X R/W -- Green A determined pro could get to it in 3 minutes. It took me ten and a few more undoing and redoing............. HINT: Use Hex wrench (ALLEN Key) with the long handle sticking out towards you. Otherwise you'll scratch the cowl with the end of the wrench/key. BTDT :evil: Oh yeah..I have photos too....................... -Suf Daddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you just need to unplug the old one and plug in the new one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdie_xx Posted April 22, 2004 Share Posted April 22, 2004 I think he wants to prevent future problems. If you hardwire instead of the plug, there are no chances of the loose connector overheating or coroding.... Cheers, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
