Reg/Rec Help

[CDN Rick]

I've got a '12 300. It originally had an e-start system on it but the original owner took it off to save weight. I'm not a good enough rider for the weight to matter, and I'd like to get it working again. I have all the components except a regulator rectifier. The wiring coming out of my stator is:

White - Goes to nothing. Open spade connection.

Yellow - Goes into a loom and disappears. I assume its supplying power to the headlight itself.

Red, Green, Black/Red, Red/White, All go into the CDI Unit. (a few wires come out of the CDI and go to an alternator regulator.)

Can anyone explain to me what type of Reg/Rec I need. Is there an OEM one? I don't see it anywhere on the parts fiche. (EDIT: Just found Part # EE51200GG-CAB-1 on MattoCycles fiche. for a 2015 Regulator. I'd rather not use it as that would necessitate a wiring harness made for it.)

How would I wire a standard 5wire Reg/Rec? Can I use a standard 5 wire unit?


Please be aware I know almost nothing about electrical. Assume I'm incompetent. I probably am. I'm of the belief that electrons are the devils playground.

I recommend you buy the correct GG part for a 2012.
EE512002510 voltage regulator/rectifier

If you have all the parts and the RR has been lost, you still should have the harness with the stock connector.

I was just working on a buddy's 2012 estart bike last weekend. The RR is the same as on my 2011 bike. 2011 is the first year for estart. Use Matto's dropdown menu and select 2011 electric start, then wiring harness and you will see the RR part number (item 9 in the diagram).

Matto's 2012 listing is for a standard non-estart bike.
The 2011 fiche specifically lists the estart parts.

Unfortunately I do not believe the harness has a standard plug for the reg/rec. I certainly haven't seen it. And I'm not sure where to find it. It is possible the PO cut it off. But I haven't seen any cut wires.

I don't really trust much on this bike as parts of it were held together with wood screws when I bought it.

I pulled the e-start from my 12 250, made no changes to the harness.
You should have a 4 pin connector at the coil/cdi area. yellow, yellow/green stripe, white, red/black stripe.
Does it still have key switch that works?

[Neil E.]

Hamilton is correct on the wire colors. The connector is flat and measures about .25" x 1.5" in size. It is white plastic and plugs into the black RR socket.

I think the part you are calling the alternator regulator (silver), is what your trying to install. I'm sure the previous owner was lazy like me and didn't change anything.
