Electrex regulator connections on a early Zane bike

[jlo]

By any chance does someone knows how to connect an Electrex RR51 regulator in replacement of the original regulator of a 668 Zane bike?

I have fitte4d one to my 'Zanini' 650 Sport, but don't recall any difficulties fitting it other than that it's slightly larger than the Ducati original so it fouled the sub-frame a bit, but wasn't necessary to make big modifications to make it fit..

Hi Marnix, thanks for the reply. I was more concerned about the electrical connexions as the OE regulator has 6 wires while the Electrex has only 5. No problem for the usual wires (phases, charging light, 12V supply, etc) but I'm wondering what to do about the black wire coming from the OE regulator and going to the brake light switch.

According to the version using the six wired regulator, in the manual and in the loose leaf page in the instruction manual, (all be it for a 750S, I don't think there is that much difference) the black wire is a feed from the fuse box and also dissapears off to the starter button/side stand switch. If you haven't connected it, is there anything that doesn't work? (make sure it is not for charging light purposes/safety cut out) If not, I guess that means it could be construed as it being extraneous.
so ignore the little tinker.

Thanks for the reply, I'll see.

Probably doesn't help much, but happen to have pics
IIRC the green (-) and red (+) go to the battery and the white to the dashboard, that's it.
