If this proves impracticable, you could see if a regular spade connector would fit the reg/rec socket and make a couple of temporary 12 gauge lead connections between reg/rec and battery (ideally with a 30A fuse in the positive lead - but for quick test it would be ok without - but don't cross the polarities - you'll get smoke).
A better way would be to get the correct plug but then you need a crimp tool unless you know a friendly auto electrician (I'm sure most would crimp a new lead for you for a beer or two). In case you do, they sell the plugs here: https://www.corsa-technic.com/catego...ategory_id=101

Am I to check this voltage while the bike is running ? Do I scrape off the wire coating - how do it do it? Please confirm.
