A7 rectifier wiring

[tailguncharlie]

Hi, just new to the forum. Can anyone give details on how to wire in a rectifier on my A7 please?

Hi, you don't say what year your bike is? If I remember correctly its a regulator box not a rectifier.

The A7 does not have a rectifier but has a regulator  with 4 terminals with letters  F. A. D. E.  The F terminal  wire which should be green goes to the F terminal on the dynamo. The A terminal wire which should be purple goes to the negative side of the ammeter. The D terminal wire which should be yellow goes to the D terminal on the dynamo. The E terminal goes to a suitable earth point on the frame.

G'day tailguncharlie .
clor6 is correct unless you have an alternator model. The reg is wired FADE = field, ammeter, dynamo, earth. The dynamo will have the poles marked F & D.

Hi, as Bikerbob has given the colours and there position, if you are still unsure just pull up bsa service sheet 808a up on the net and it will show you in diagram form
