TOPIC:

i should know what this is but i dont....i have a 76 kz900 and the p.o was goofy.....he had another bikes fork sprin ngs....cop bike 1000 coils...really tall shocks off god knows what and this thing wired into the left main panel(which he has all rigged up...the finned box thing was under the seat zip-tied to a frame rail.....it is about the size of a deck a cards......thanks and the prize for the correct answer is a red bull 2009 moto gp decal.....

this may help...it may be to another make/model....the bike has a dyna s plate instead of points......the bike has a green aluimnum regulater like a z-1 and it is present and hooked up.....?????

T, looks like a reg/rect. to me tho not familar with any with lug connectors. question, do 3 wires go to stator? 1 to ground? 1 to pos batt,? G

i'll have to look...the p.o punched the left side mounted colored(brown ,white, blue,green ) connectors free so it is all kinda floating in there...i will check tomorrow....i thought the same thing but the other stock z---kz.. regulater (green plug jacks)is there...you are prob right as thats what i would guess and keith1 said the same too.....i can not find a brain for my dyna s ...should there be an aftermarket box thingy somewhere?????would it say dyna on it???...i suck so hard at electrical that it's not even funny.......i'm a wiggle this unplug that type guy...pretty sad...thanks i'll check...oh and it must be the white plug connector that this is going to/from

Dyna-S has no separate control box. It comes with two modules attached to a back plate with three wires exiting, plus a rotor to replace the points cam.

Here's a pic.

Good Luck!

The three yellow wires from the stator are a dead giveaway, regulator/rectifier.

Finish your description of the wiring please... two orange and two green... where do they go? I don't see a brown wire hehe

If you have a combo reg/rec, the three yellow wires will come from the stator. You will have a ground wire and a power OUT wire at a minimum. On some reg/rec wires there is also a sense wire which connects to a switched DC sub-circuit to sense voltage. I would get rid of that thing and replace with something more familiar.

S7T-01 corresponds with a Shindengo unit from a Honda GL1000 K1 - can't say for sure if it's a combined reg/rec though, I believe some of the old GLs had separate units.

I agree with OnkelB, I seem to recall hondas using rectifiers with that type of connection. If the GL1000 theory holds, then it's just a rectifier, not a regulator. Green is ground, red/orange is positive.

at first i thought that i did not recognize it cuase i had had 1000 kz and z-1 but no 76kz900 before...then i started seeing some wierd on the cheap fixes from the p.o....what you say makes sense becuase i have a regulatro hooked up and i think the guy i bought it from said" oh you might need a rectifier"....i just got a used regulator of e-bay and a new battery when mine would not charge overnight anymore....now i gotta go on a search......

Reg/rec combo units from Z1E:

Combo 1

Combo 2

Am very well-pleased using the Z1E combo with plugs attached and no splicing required.

Good Luck!

those are great links patton thanks....of course no 29.95 anymore...but if it works and is for a z-1..kz..i should probably do it...somtimes when the regulators (stock oldie)s)are on e-bay guys will say in the description regulator/rectifier...but i think it is just a regulator...
the picture below is what i have in another location.....is a regulater rectifier gonna mean i can do away with this unit....i know i am into territory that i should be reading up on ...it's just that you've carried me this far and it begs this question next....thanks guys for all your help...and as mentioned i got a stack of redbull laguna seca decals for free the other day ...p.m me if anyone wants one and i'll throw a stamp on an envelope and get a couple to you i have plenty....craigakPatton wrote:
