Hi all it seems i do have the correct regulator/rectifier unit for a A4 or Z1b as it is the same unit stocked my wemoto and LM spares, trouble is cant get details how to wire!
Two yellow and one black to white plug with male spades a red and white cable and a brown with male spades searched web to no avail anyone out there who knows? or can point me in right direction? Cheers Paul J..

I know this isn't going to help, but surely there should have been some basic instructions with it.

No Phil Nothing at all !!!!

Thanks Rich cant see my model but it is pointing in the right direction Cheers Paulj...

Some electrical guy please help Pauljac!
I only know of a Six wire reg/rectifier.
He has a Five wire reg/rectifier and has been told it is correct type for a Z1B and a Z900-A4.
Now, I have heard of these working, but I reserve my judgement.

The six wire connection is:
Stator Rotor: yellow, yellow & yellow .... 3 wires (we all agree 3 connections from the alternator, where we get our power)
Earth: 1 x black wire (we all agree, must have earth)
Switch: 1 x brown wire
Positive: 1 x white/red wire.
Does anyone know how a 5 wire is connected to a Z1B or an A4?
My concern is, that it only has two yellow wires!

I have read this thread a couple of times & I don't know the answer, so I haven't posted......... till now!

Like Garn, I am sceptical that there are only two yellow wires & not three, but I am only really familiar with the later z1000A1/2

I have a 5 wire regulator for this from electrex... 3x yellow to stator, 1x red +12v, 1x black to ground/earth. It does not have a 'switched' 12v.

Three questions;
1 Does this bike have a single phase generator? (how many cloth covered wires go into the blue plug? 2= single phase 3= 3 phase)
2 can the supplier not supply wiring details?
3 who is the supplier, what is the model No?

Likewise GB. I've just fitted the aftermarket Reg/Rec as supplied by Z-Power to my 73. They list it as correct fitment for ALL MODELS 72 - 75 - ie including Z1B - and it has 3 yellow leads denoting 3 phase generator.

I would be AMAZED if Kawa chopped to single phase for 76 and 77, then reverted back to 3 phase for 78/A2. Why would they???

Sooooo... Paul, I can only think that the manufacturer's fitment list for your unit is wrong and this error has been passed on by the retailers you mention.

Yes Thanks all,It seems this unit is for Single Phase system!!!! no wonder i could not find how to fit, my supplier has now got me a 3 phase one,good learning curve though.now know a bit more about this topic,,,Cheers PaulJ..
