yellow wire r/r ?????

[[jh]]

Does anyone know where the yellow wire coming off the r/r goes to? I'm going to be changing mine along with my stator and am curious what this wire is for. The yellow wire comes up with the brown red and black wires but does not come out of the plug ??? I was looking at my Haynes manual and it doesn't show a yellow wire, only a red and brown ???

Even the Greatest of All Vision Gurus' know not the purpose of the fabled Yellow Wire.  Many have speculated, but none know for sure.

I actually do know.

Oh wait, you said the yellow wire?  What yellow wire?

 here is what you could could do. decide if, say for instance,does that wire have continuity to ground, before the engine starts, and becomes not grounded as soon as the charging starts. this could be used for an idiot lite.  I am not using a yama reg , and never looked into it, when i was.  It might only become hot, as soon as output begains, like maybe to run head lite?  those are the two things i can think of.  be carefull, test with care.

??? So, without it, your "V" will have an appendectomy scar :o ;D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D... ;)
...and like your appendix, its not required...Isolate the end so it cannot short out. Heat shrink, electrical tape, etc will do the trick... ;)
