How To Wire a Motorcycle Series, Episode 3: Regulator Rectifiers Explained // Revival Tech Talk 

I think I saw an article on their website explaining exactly how to do this

Yes you can

Thank you. I think that would solve my problem. 👍👍@@RevivalCycles

Peace Love thanks for clarifying. We’re not saying in the video that it’s a brand, it’s a type of reg rec.

@@RevivalCycles I understand. And previously I have spent a lot of time searching for a brand of rectifier called mosfet before I learned it's actually an acronym. Just wanted to keep anyone else from making my mistake. Lol!

We don't have a video on that topic yet but it would make for a great one. I'll tell you a couple of ways that we go about it in the shop. 1. Free Hand - Locate the center of your hole and use a spring loaded punch to mark it. The mark will center your drill bit. Use a fresh bit and clean up around the hole wo there are no burs that will damage your wire. 2. Use a handle bar drill jig. shop.revivalcycles.com/lsl-handlebar-drill-jig/ These will give you a 5mm pilot hole that you can go up as needed. In the shop the guys will use either of these two methods, often while the bars are mounted so that the clamps hold them tight and they can be certain that the positions are correct for the switch angles.

That is how the magic happens. We have a series of installation diagrams for both traditional and m.Unit installations in our Knowledge Base in the link below. technicalarticles.revivalcycles.com/hc/en-us

It does if it's a field excited stator which requires current from a battery to excite the field coil creating a magnetic field order to generate power. 🖖

Are there many motorcycles that don't have a permanent magnet alternator ? Cause if so you would probably see at least 3 extra wires for the exciter coils to get power, not seeing many of those... @@RevivalCycles

No worries, if you don't get the three stator wires mixed up it won't hurt anything at all.

@@RevivalCycles by thats what im asking. All three stator wires are of yellow color. All three of em. So it wont harm anything if i just attach them with whatever regrec wires?? Leaving out the power and ground.

Sorry to hear that, how are you trying to reach us Michael? I'm the guy who answers all the incoming tech questions and while it on occasion can take a few days I respond to every email that lands in my box even if it's with an "I don't know". techsupport@revivalcycles.com

Hi Patrik, here's a Link to the right one for your BMW. The second link is to a wiring diagram specifically for Bosch charging systems. shop.revivalcycles.com/universal-type-b-field-excited-3-phase-regulator-rectifier-for-lead-acid-and-lithium-batteries/ BMW R/ Bike & Moto Guzzi's with Bosch Alternators Regulator Rectifier Upgrade

We might but I know some of the GPZ's have a regulator integrated into the alternator. If you shoot us an email to techsupport@revivalcycles .com and include your factory wiring diagram we can help you figure that out.
