Hi John, I don't know the specific regulator you
have but i'm concerned it may NOT be for that
alternator. Normally a PM "simple" alternator
has a matching regulator, a shunt (power waste)
type. There should only be the 2 blue wires in
and red/black out. I've seem similar systems on
many of the modern motorcyces, although they are
usually 3 phase PM, yours is 1 phase.
The yellow/green wires on you regulator sound
like the colours I would expect for connection to
the field coil, which your alternator doesn't
have.
