Flashing generator light mk2 Jota

The Yamaha R1 regulator as fitted to my RGS. It won't fit in the original position as it is bigger. And being rated for 420 watts when the RGS only has a 210 watt alternator means it does not ever get hot. Also will allow you to fit a higher output alternator if needed.

Electrex RR51 has the required wire (white if memory serves correctly). Fitted one to my Mirage and then ran the wire up to the clock - now has a functioning gen light.

Is this just a straight forward swap?

As far as I remember it was. Not near the bike for a while so I can't check but if I could do it it wasn't that difficult.

All.....

Can Anyone confirm the difference between the RR 10 and RR 51 from electrex.....
Seems some people say that the 51 is the right one for the jota and some, including electrex,  say the 10 should be used,  is there any difference between them apart from the extra white wire on the 51?
Oh yes and 51 is a lot more expensive!!

Electrex RR10 is a three phase regulator rectifier.
Electrex RR51 is a single phase regulator rectifier with output for a charging light.

The choice depends what kind of alternator is installed on your bike.
 
Stu... if yours is a series 2 bike then you have a three phase Nippon Denso alternator. That means you can't use the RR51 with its warning light. So Electrex are right. You need the RR10.

Some information needs to be punched in more than once.

There are those among us who's strengths are in areas other than electrical gizmos. Maybe Stu can lift heavy things.  :D

Stu is right not to rely on advice from people selling the things, They often don't know what they're talking about, especially when it comes to rare breeds like Laverdas. Would the Electrex guy know a series 1 from a series 2 Laverda triple? It's always best to do your own research and confirm for yourself which part is the one you need.

One of the questions from parts suppliers that drives me nuts is "what's it for". I was in an auto parts store the other day looking for a bit of vacuum hose. The bloke asked what it was for, as if that info would make any difference to what he'd show me. I felt like telling him it was none of his fucking business what I was going to do with it, but I told him the truth. It was for a surgical procedure on a unicorn.
 
Shaun,
see post 13, second to last sentence. your 1110 drummer triple, was built very much in the mode of a 750, sharing many of the 72/73 750 components.

Or maybe taking back to Joe's garage for a bit of plooking, Cam?! Be careful the Central Scrutinizer doesn't see you! (you have to be familiar with Zappa's album to get this, BTW)
 
Wiring sorted out with new connectors and an electrex RR10 fitted as supplied and described by K Nairn.
Top bloke, now charging fine and no hot cables!,

The original post about the flashing light is one of the cheapo warning lights.... now I know!,

Thanks All

Stu
 
Glad you got it sorted.
Original reg/rects seem to be failing with monotonous regularity - well worth replacing after 40 years!

- some sort of charge indicator is no bad idea - can save a flat or overcharged & wrecked battery.
