Well, I wired it up to regulate positive voltage but still nothing. Then I spent the next hour trying every combination with the regulator and wires. I was able to achieve different hums and clicking sounds from the regulator but nothing from the bike. I was reading about voltage regulators on...

I’ll try putting positive voltage through it when I get home. I remember vividly regulating ground when it was working last week but I suppose I could be wrong. I’ll let you know.

Well, a few days ago I tried a different regulator that I had and it worked great. I used alligator clips and wires to hook it to the bike. It’s from an XS360 and has an adjustable screw. I got a solid 14.5 volts from it and I was absolutely stoked! I went back today to permanently wire it in...

Thanks for your reply. If I understand this right, you’re saying the field coil should be getting constant power through the Green wire? And then the only ground will be the black wire that comes off the regulator? It makes sense to me that this should work and that the regulator will then...

Hey John, I’m having some problems with my field coil and was hoping you could help lead me in the right direction. I picked up a 1980 XS400 and scrapped all the wiring (it was a mess). I rewired the bike with bare bones just to get it to run. I got the bike running good but when I tested the...

I recently picked up an XS750. After a new battery, and a little work it ran great for a couple days. It ran real strong and revved up great. I took it on a few rides and all seemed great. The last ride I took it on, it was running really well. I drove it back home and went inside for about 20...

How do you make a baffle like that?

I just bought a 1976 Yamaha XS360, with straight pipes, no mufflers. This bike has an awesome sound to it, but is so loud it disrupts the neighborhood. That said, I’m looking to buy some mufflers for it to quiet it down. I don’t have much room for a long muffler, as it would get in the way of my...

But how does it go from the rectifier to the battery? There’s only 2 wires coming from the battery.

I bought a new battery for my bike and a few questions came to mind: Is the hot or red wire coming from the battery, also the wire that the battery is recharged through? And if it is, how is it possible for the battery to be outputting energy, and receiving energy through the same wire...

I have recently bought a 1976 XS360 which has been turned into a cafe racer. This bike was running off of a Trail Tech battery by the previous owner. The battery is a 3700mah battery made by Trail Tech. The battery is quite small and is a battery that is mainly meant to be on dirt bikes. The...
