153 mile test ride yesterday with a few friends. To much amusement from said friends i took my multimeter to keep an eye on things. bike ran perfect throuh out the day. Made the mistake of jumping to conclusions and buying the reg/rec and not checking the easy things first :o . But a useful spare to have in the shed. Hopefully one i wont be needing. bikes so good iam off out again today. will pull over at 11.55am for two minutes silence to show my respect to the queen but more important to those family members she leaves behind.
Thanks to all that posted replies and helping me solve the problem. Much appreaciated :thumbup

That was one reason I went for the Electrex World reg/rec as the wiring from the stator plug goes straight to the reg/rec via there own plug. The output goes straight to the battery. If I was at home I' ve got all the info from when I fitted it. The condition monitor was handy stuck in traffic on Friday, as my new sat nav seems to like a bit of juice, and with my phone on charge, the indicator showed the demand wasn't being met on tickover or slow speed. Unplug the phone and alls well. Then stuck the phone back on charge when back on the open road.
Robbo - have you got a link to the condition monitor?

This is the one I used, simple to install. I mounted mine through a bar mounted switch.

Do you have any pictures to show what you actually did Paul

Hi Midden...Sorry no.I do still have the connector and when i get time will take a piccie and you can see how bad it is. I just snipped the wire`s either side of the block and soldered a new piece in, two joins in each wire. Not ideal i know. Next job will be to source a replacement connector block, De-solder my tempoary repair and do a propper job.
good solo ride on Monday. Home in High Wycombe down to Loomies for tea and then down to Portsdown for one of Micks 1/2 lb egg bacon burger, Very busy at Micks with a 30 min que for food. Sat and had my lunch whilst taking in the view. Just as i finished things went quiet...2 mins silence...sat there quiet whilst overlooking Portsmouth harbour...
Back on the bike and a ride down to Gosport to explore a couple of Forts. back home via Box hill and then home. 245 miles for the day and the mighty Thou not missing a beat...
Mr.Red you could always make your own connector block using Anderson Powerpoles, which would give the facility to isolate, should you need to, one wire at a time. Get genuine article not Chinese copies. I used them before fitting the Electrex World reg/rec. I'll try to find some pics of what they look like.

Hiya Red
Been a few years now since I have been on here.
I had exactly the same issue with the large white multi connector under the tank of my FZS600.
Green death on some of the internal pins and sockets and black burning on others, I photographed the plug from all angles and make written notes of the wires
(Probably not necessary as colour coding helps) I cut the plug right out and used new wire to make 'Link Wires' and spent some time soldering the Links in, Prior to this I purchased a box of different coloured heat shrink tubing, the finished job is far superior to the white multi connector.
You say that you will fit a new connector when you have time, If you have soldered them well I would leave it as it is, and, should you ever need to separate the loom at that point that would be the time to fit a new Multi if that's the way you want to go.
soldered joints don't seem to suffer with the dreaded Green Verdigris/Oxidisation, provided you do not use an acid flux (plumbing type flux).
So pleased to read you have sorted out the problem, I have been following the post with great interest.

Good to see a lot of the old crew are still here.
No bike here at all now sold the FZS600 and the Honda C90 Step through, But I do still have the Blue Hairdressers Cage (SLK 230 Komp) :rollin
