The diode checks can be useful if you have a current leak that's traced back to the reg-rec, but only for that purpose, the diodes make up the rectifier, not the regulator.

Here's a question, working on the assumption I get my hand s on one tomorrow, the yellow wires, are they just the three phases of AC then? if so does it matter which way you wire them up? Also on the off chance its has two reds and two black wires do I just solder them together into one connector?

Yellow ones anyway round, Yes to the other question.

£35 is a good price. 50-60 is normal, mine came to just under £35 with postage, try get one thats done little milage.

IMO it is better to put the red and black direct to battery with thick wire, ring terminals and an inline 20A fuse. But it will probably be fine feeding into stock wiring :-)

Not sure about the mileage and zero postage so I'll have that and see how it goes, I hope you are right about these FH014's lol - I should have the little so and so connected by the end of tomorrow if all goes well and then I can turn my attention to the troublesome idle and carbs on the weekend (fingers crossed).

Fancy a carb party at mine Neeja, tools, coffee, spare carbs for parts if needed ;-)

ok, yer cool, can do that, 20 amp though, I read on that twin site it need to be a 30 or is that for the bigger twins? Do maplins do the holders for em ???? - off to google :-)

Lol @ carb party.

An assumption on my part that if the electrics can draw no more than that from the battery (main fuse), they will not draw more than that from the charging circuit.

Feel free to correct me, but also I cannot see why a 30A fuse would not be perfectly safe also to protect against fire if a wire was worn through.

I was going with 30amp too. The fh014 rectifier can put of 50amp tops ( i think), just make sure the wiring is rated above the fuse for obvious reasons lol.

The maximum drawn of the bike is way lower than 50, under 20 even. Depends what other crap you have plugged in i suppose.
