[QUOTE="druridge, post: 89889, member: 3754"] Very many thanks. The installation instructions downloaded fine. The bike has got a 12v battery & the 60w halogen bulb. My regulator doesn't have the 2 blue wires mentioned (I note these are shown in nearly all the images that come up on Google), but otherwise it does look like a Kubota regulator and seems to have been on the bike for a while. As mentioned both blue wires from the alternator go to the 2 yellow wires from the regulator. The red wire on the regulator goes to the -ve side of the ammeter. There is then a blue wire from the +ve side of the ammeter back to the +ve battery terminal. As I understand it, this must be my battery charging / 'power out' circuit - that is through the ammeter? I'm assuming this requires the ammeter to be in good order. Battery is wired -ve earth; and the black wire from the regulator goes to earth, hopefully completing the circuit . My regulator doesn't have a green wire either! If there remains any doubt about my regulator, then a call to the Spares Co. to see if they have a regulator 'of many colours' might be a smart move...... [/QUOTE]
