taffy:
i have checked the electrics in the owners manual and i can see that the 3 yellow cables sholud be connected to the 2 yellow and 1 blue from the stator but i cant see wich one that shold be connected to the blue one. alla 3 yellow cables look the same.

i bought the bike like this, it worked when i tried it but then i got this problem. the former owner has replaced the regulator so im thinking maybe he has connected it wrong. i hade this problem one time before.
i replaced the stator and battery (new) and the bike ran great for 60km, now i have the same problem again and the battery is ded. i can´t reaload it.

one of these yellow should be connected to the blue one and the other 2 to the yellows but i cant find out wich is wich...
I'll tell you again my old mucker what you have there is a three phase regulator rectifier there and will not work with the SEM stator, not now not ever, you require two separate units a regulator for the lights and a regulator rectifer for the battery (single phase) comprende.

i hear you but at the same time im a little confused, this is a originalpart. check this sheet out (upper left corner)

and if you look in the spareparts catalog it is only one unit, just like this one. not 2.
please explain, sorry if im annoying...

Hello Erik,
You are not annoying, your 2003 regulator/rectifier is connected to the 2 yellow and 1 blue stator lead wires exactly the same as my 2000 FE501E is. Mine has a three wire plug on the stator and a 3 wire socket on the rectifier/regulator that control orientation of the leads when connected. In order to change this OEM orientation, you would have to remove the leads from the plug or socket connector shell and then reinstall them in a different orientation.
Does your bike have these same connector shells that control the orientation?
Neither the yellow or blue stator leads are internally grounded in the stator.
Make sure the black/white lead coming from the regulator/rectifier is grounded to the bike chassis and that the negative pole of the battery is also properly grounded to the bike chassis.
If I remember correctly, the stator is connected as a 2 phase 'Y' system with the blue lead being the common lead coming from the point where the phases of the 2 yellow leads are connected together in the stator. All of the AC generated by these 2 stator windings is converted to DC in this type of regulator/rectifier.
I hope this helps,
Joe
