Putting a 6 wire rectifier on a 5 wire bike??

[NSR Mick]

Can a 6 wire rectifier be put on a bike with a 5 wire rectifier.

The bike's wires are 3 yellow a red and a black. The rectifier I have has an extra green wire.

What bike is it? , in that my NTV has a reg rec with two green and two red , but looking closely at the circuit diagram the green and reds both merge into a single wire shortly after the connector.

Check the circuit diagram to see,

It's a Swedish import GSX400FWS so the manual is a bit difficult.

I'll do a bit of probing.

Yes it will work if its rated the same or higher than the old ones current output

the yellow are your three phase in from the alternator/stator, red is 12v postive out black is 12v negtive out to your battery


the green needs to be connected to a 12v supply thats on when the ingtion is on this is part of the reagulation for the 12v dc output on this type of rectifier.

I have to say when I fitted a Honda regulator on my GS550 I had an extra wire that had to be connected to a switched live (I used the feed to the flasher relay as I recall). Only way to be sure is to check the schematic of the bike it came off.

So that's why I have a wire going to one side of the brake light switch on the GSX550.

Seems oh so simple now.
