Recently I bought a 1992 royal Enfield bullet 500
It's overcharging ,it goes up to 17 -18 volts at the battery when I checked it
The alternator it has is the 3 wire type with two joined together
I have tried to fit a Japanese bike (Honda) reg/rectifier this unit has the 3 yellow wires (alternator input) it has a red live (goes to + on battery) and a green ( goes to - on battery) and a black wire that connects to the red after the ignition switch
It dosent charge unless I disconect the black wire
When I do this it doesn't regulate
I have a reg/rectifier on order this is a "Swiss" type one I'm wondering if this will work with my bike because after I googled royal Enfield bullet alternators most of them are a 4 wire type?
I should point out my bike is negative earth 12volt
And at the moment it has a standard reg rectifier fitted unlike the later version that has two separate units
At the moment it's ok with a halogen bulb headlight turned on all the time but I need to know the best way to sort it out
Cheers
