I thought I had seen a diagram of circuit on one of these threads or your web site but I can not find it again, so you replace the red/white wire with a heavy gauge wire to handle better the amps, produced by the r/r.

Sorry Tightwad,

I may have mislead you here, the connector to the r/r has indeed 5 wires. 3 yellow (stator) 1 green (earth) and 1 red/white, I fully understand the replacement of the yellow wires, with heavy gauge than standard and the relocating the earth to the battery, but why the replacement of the red/white wire and the inclusion of an extra fuse?.

It's the ignition switch wires that have been messed with, it should have a 3 pin connector, someone has fit a 6 pin connector (90-93) models, then cut out the two brown wires and left the other space empty, my question in regard to the ignition switch, was do you have access to 3 pin connectors that could be used for the rewiring of the ignition switch.

many thanks

Tightwad,

thanks for the reply, I can't quite grasp what happens to the wiring from the starter relay area, have you replaced the red/white wire with a red wire and put an inline fuse in there,the earth directly to the battery, stator wires just replaced with heavy gauge wire and new connectors,( I hard wired my son's cbr to eliminate the faulty/loose terminals at the stator plug.)

I have another problem with the bike I have just bought, it appears to have been a cat D, which has been bodged back together, the wiring from the ignition switch to the loom has been altered, it should have a 3 pin arrangement, but has a 5 pin plug which has been altered, do you know where I can buy the 3 pin plug, male and female, so that I can repair the wiring correctly, I will also have to replace the ignition switch.

Tightwad,

I hope so,

do you do a loom to fit the 750 fv version, as I might as well replace the wiring whilst I have the bike in bits.

Just joined vfrd and found this thread,what a bonus.

This is my second vfr750fv, which I bought 2 weeks ago, last owner replaced the battery and r/r, but after stripping the bike to go through end to end, as I do when I buy a new bike, I found the plug to the r/r has a burnt terminal, on removal from the unit, I can see some burning to the terminal, only very light, question is, will I have to replace this, or can I clean up the pin.

I have in the past, on my own bikes and my son's removed the connector which joins the alternator to the loom and to the r/r and hard wired it.

The fv(97) has 5 wires 3 yellow 1 red 1 green.

I do like the idea of the loom ( plug and play)type.
