This fused the same as stock, right? Which protects this...

well, one fuse is pretty easy... let's see... P=IV, the HL is 60W / 12V on high, so that's 5A. Tail/brake light = ?W/12 V *2 (both on). let's assume 60W (way too high, I'm sure). => 10A, so another 20A fuse ought to work...

I think in reality, it will be 2 10A or 15A fuses...

and the stock fuse box has a nightmare of splices there too.

Fuses should be sized to protect the weakest link in the circuit. So it a wire in the circuit is rated for 20W, then the fuse for the whole circuit no matter what else is hooked to it should be 20W. Or vice versa. If you need a 40W fuse to run all of the devices in the circuit, then all of the wire should be rated for 40W or more.

You don't want to burn up your wire, it's harder to replace than the fuse.

What do you think?

Can you say, "I lost my keys goin' down the road?" Hey, check this out...just need a little translation.

How does this diagram look now? I added fuses on the rear light and head light circuits. 6A fuses may be better. 5 will not cut it, at least for the head light. I will see what I can find.

Verslagen, you can get a 6A SPDT switch that will take care of turning off the headlight. The switch I used is 3 position, such that the middle position is off. Link. Also, Ed_L wrote a tech sect article on how to instal a relay that turns off the headlight while you start it. Link

allright, WHY THE HELL DOES MY RECTIFIER ONLY HAVE 5 WIRES COMING OUT OF IT ????????????????????

All the diagrams show 6, 3 for the magneto, 1 ground, and two powers, O/B & R/B. The one that came off my 97 had the 3 yellow magneto wires, the ground, and R/B. The connector in question has 3 prongs. I have a rectifier off of an 87 or so. It clearly has 6 wires all coming out from the same side. I swear up and down that my 97 only has 5. I will post a pic when I can.

What gives?

It's not like there's even another spot for a wire to have fallen out of! I mean, geeze, ther germans have 6 wires coming out of their rectifiers! (whatever that is supposed to mean ?? ) The part numbers on the rectifiers are: 1997: SH535C-12 198x: SH535A-12 by Shindengen of Japan

For Greg: a little translation:

From the top:

Leerlauf = neutral switch

Seitenstander( offen) = sidestand ( open)
Licht = light
Zundbox = Ignition box
Spule = Ignition coil
Sicherungen = fuses
ZS = ignition switch
Regler = regulator

Hope for a better understanding of the schematic.

Thanks. I was actually figuring it out in reverse by reading the connections, but that is faster

I posted the drawing for Vroom and I don't really know the purpose of the schematic...seems to be a really chopped schematic which I thought might be helpful.

I just asked my room mate to count. he counted 5 on mine! Now i am soooo confused! Greg, does yours only have 5 wires?
