That makes a lot of sense, I'll invest in the correct reg/rec for the bike! 5 wire was as in 3 phases and 2 DC, was one I had spare for my old gsxr.

I had read posts saying about dodgy regulators, although tbf I also have an aprilia so I'm quite used to electrical faults lol. Just out of curiosity really, why some regulators have 4 outputs and some have two. And the honda seems to have 4 that join together anyway to give you 2, just seemed odd.

Hi, in the process of fixing up a 99 vfr. I've had to replace the wiring loom which was supplied with the bike when I bought it as it had an electrical fire and pretty well cooked the old one! Looking at the diagram, is there any reason for the oe regulator to have 4 DC outputs as it seems to just go into two wires anyway? Only reason I ask is it needs replacing and I had a spare 5 wire regulator in the shed already! And I can't see any reason why it'd be a problem but the loom I was supplied appears to be for a 99 on with connectors for lambda sensors (which mine doesn't have). Other than the plug for the ignition barrel being different, are there any problems I may run into with the newer loom? Thanks Cameron
