Hi all, just fitted a new loom to my old 95 916
the loom is from a slightly later bike still with 2 wire gene system.
Things missing are the balast resistor (strada only i believe) and a earth lead to the rectifier.
Here is a pic, can anyone confirm that the rectifier block connector is correct ? i cant see any other way of fitting it
The 2 yellows are cut short on the rectifier, new ones will be soldered to reach the bullets from the gene itself
then its just fit both earths to the bat and the live and starter feed
Would appreciate some advice before i connect it up live and see a thin blue flame running around my poor 916
Cheers

Have you got the later jap regulator if so I doubt if you will be wanting the seperate earth or a ballast resistor
wiring looks ok so far

cheers skidlids, yes the rectifier is the later type with the large grey heatsink.
it does look logical as it is, i was just concerned with the lack of earth lead from the rectifier, and although the block connectors are a different color they seem to fit and the reds are matched.
the balast type thing on the original loom are from the strada which uses a different ecu i believe.
the old loom was looking a bit worse for wear and coupled with the datatool system 3 gave some interesting temp / tacho readings from time to time hence cutting it all out and fitting the new loom to try and make it more reliable and less cause for concern and keep her right for a few more years yet.
all the rear sections fitted just fine as did the connectors to the nutral light switch etc etc it was just this bit that worry'd me a bit
Cheers
