non zed advice needed

I have a H**** xl500, these bikes have seperate rectifiers and regulators, the regulator has gone and are no longer available , so my choice is to buy a 2nd hand one off ebay or a combined reg/rec as new, which is my preferred option , the question is the combined reg/rec has the connection block to fit on the exsisting loom, but what happens with the 2 wires from the loom that were connected into the regulator ?,

Hi Bunnyz
My boss has 3 XL500 and 2 XR500, I will ask him tomorrow what he does.

Hi Bunnyz, reckon this must be the same as other reg/rect set ups,all you need to trace are the three ac outputs from the alternator,these will go into the 3 inputs on the comb reg rect (if its a three phase unit as on a Zed) usually 3 yellows,doesnt matter which one to which,the brown wire is usually the trigger,fed off the live side of the brake light which usually so it is energised with ignition on ,this brown wire on some units is ommited,the red and white feed into the battery positive,the black to the frame earth.
You should get approx 14.6 volts at 3k revs across the battery if working correctly,virtually any 3 phase job will do, wet dream and cx500 work well and are reliable..Cheers Paul j

yes steve thats the combined reg/rec which fits into the rectifier connection, but there are 2 wires left over on the loom from the regulater.

Should have read the whole question first

without looking one will be ground and the other voltage sense the instructions that come the the unit should point you in the right direction or have I missed a point sorry

paul,

how many wires on the reg/rec ?

5 or 6 ?

if 5 then it's normally 3 from the alternator (usually yellow), 1 to T into the loom between the battery and the rest of the power feed (upstream on the fuses) (red) and one to earth (black).

photo would help.............
