James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Found the connector! Strangely without my assistant saying ‘daddy daddy daddy’ on repeat in my ear I could concentrate. Quote
Stu Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Found the connector! Strangely without my assistant saying ‘daddy daddy daddy’ on repeat in my ear I could concentrate. Have you took it apart to see what its like? Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 The connector? If you mean removed male from female yes. Looks okay.Does it matter which stator wire goes to which pin? Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Old stator has a plast thing that looks like it creates a seal between the generator cover and the housing at the back. New one does not. See pics. What do I do about this. There should be one I gues? Because otherwise why have a gasket? Quote

James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks, it might come off with some oomph I’ll try. Back soon with more questions I am sure Quote
Stu Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Magic I have found a potential problem though! The new connector probably has 3 pins with it? that need to be connected to the wiringYou need a proper crimping tool for these! Quote

James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Those are the pins in my hand. I have a crimping but on my posh wire strippers. Just off to buy solder to make the job good Quote
Stu Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Those are the pins in my hand. I have a crimping but on my posh wire strippers. Just off to buy solder to make the job good It depends on what crimp tool you have? no need for solder in fact it can make the connection brittle and snap with vibration Quote
Mississippi Bullfrog Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 If you do solder (which I do when crimping) add a length of heat shrink to the end of the cable. It prevents the problem Stu mentions about vibration. Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks both. In tool station, they don’t have solder so I am buying the crimping tool If this all works I will have enjoyed myself Quote
Stu Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks both. In tool station, they don’t have solder so I am buying the crimping tool If this all works I will have enjoyed myself Top tip learn how to use the crimper before going in as you only have 3 connectors and you need them all Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 I’m getting 13.8 volts at the battery at 5k revs. Have I fixed it!!!???? Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 Yes Thank you for your help [mention]Stu[/mention] and gang. Particularly Stu who talked me through the whole thing. I feel really bloomin chuffed! I’m going to get her panels on and take her for a spin! Quote
onesea Posted March 15, 2020 Posted March 15, 2020 When your back, just let us know your home with battery fully charged.. Quote
James in Brum Posted March 15, 2020 Author Posted March 15, 2020 I was only out for forty minutes. Bike worked well, I did not think to check the battery again, in part because it’s a faff. I shall risk it for work tomorrow Then I need to buy a charger. I am wondering if my regulator rectifier thy I took off is working and I wonder if my old battery is fine. Quote

Keep the rectifier you can always try it on future. Use the new battery they have shelf life and old one is well used and abused of you have had charging problems.If your battery is hard to access you can get a good idea of voltage in battery on any live connection or bulb. On my FZ6 i would split rear light connection under seat...Not precise but it gave enough information. Quote
