(changed title) 2002 reg/rec vs earlier curvy reg rec

[northwind]

<edit>

Not because I think it's a great upgrade, but because the new-in-box reg/rec I bought on Ebay a while back for £20 turned out to be for the wrong SV- never actually checked it until thursday, when my current one stopped working

So, obviously it's much the same design... But it has a different plug confirguration, just the one plug with 5 terminals. Anyone know which ones relate to which socket?

I'm hoping to not fit it- it'd be a shame to butcher a brand new one, really- but it'd be good to know in case it becomes neccesary.

That's the easy part.

Then the black & red is battery 'hot' (+ve), and black & white is apparently negative/ground. Why there's a pair of +ve & a pair of -ve wires, I do not know though.
...
IMO, plug the black wires into yellow (in any order, it's AC current), then use a multi-meter to bridge black&red to black&white (+ve to -ve).
...
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE re-check my thinking on this, but IIRC, it'll only be giving out ~18V at 3A on the battery side. Just don't fry yourself because I'm wrong!

It's exactly the same as the earlier regs, three alternator wires, a hot and a neg, (on this exact unit of which there are two of each).

Mine hs 5 black wires and a single plug

Ah hah. Wee bit of more detailed searching and it's a 2002 one, which is different from all other years.

Leave it with me, I'll have a dig around tonight & should be able to come up with something. I'll take a closer look into it from home.

EDIT: Every listing I've looked at so far lists 99-03, strange that the '02 would be different wiring & listed as the same part... I'll look into it more later though.

Very odd...

I've found another 2 oddities in my wiring loom as I've been hacking away (I've wanted to get rid of my immobiliser for a while, I've been a little suspicious of it) which I'll maybe need to get a second opinion on- a 3-way connector that plugs into a connector which has 2 of the terminals looped back on themselves and the third missing, and a 2-way connector that plugs into a small black box that I've never seen on the parts list. I tell you something, I've usually got high praise for the dealership that used to work on my bike, but this immobiliser fitment's bloody awful... Mainly just held together with electric tape.

Ah har, it looks to be identical to the GSXR one. That'd make sense, if they ran out of the old type and didn't want to buy more, it'd be cheaper to change the loom.

The other weirdnesses apparently are supposed to be there, at least, the bike works and charges and all Turns out my reg/rec is fine, my immobiliser had a cutout on the charging system for some reason, and that bit had stopped working. Immobiliser assigned to its proper place, the bin, and bike works again.
