That was one thing I could never get sorted whether the 232-12 was shorting or open. But guessing with that black wire it is open which is easier on the stator! You could run a separate wire from the ECU relay or nearly any relay to get that ignition on signal. Just use one of those push-on lug "branch" fittings.

Now then... I'm happy to report,  that the transplant worked out brilliantly,  a battery measuring 12.5-12.6 is being charged at 13.5-13.7 at different throttle positions,  I will see,  how much current goes into a fully charged battery.  It was a bit of a bit©h to put the new stator on -  first the connectors gave some trouble and the mounting holes do not line up,  which would have been less of an issue,  if I could have gotten the rear spoiler off,  but the top box holder and it's bolt is rusted together so much,  I have rounded up all allen heads,  even after repeated attempts of penetrating oil treatment and heat. Eventually I will drill off the bolts,   but now I couldn't have arsed,  so I had to attach the stator with the spoiler in place,  it must have been a wonderful sight of me trying to bend my arm into unnatural positions to reach inside.

New stator? I thought you put a reg-rectifier on.

Of course you are right,  I'm just a bit too tired and writing stupidities :)  I put in the 232 after some modifications and it works like a charm :) Now, I'd like to know,  why I reused the old and cracked gasket on the generator cover??  Obviously I hav an oil leak,  damnit...

So, just a quick update to anybody, who is considering the SH transplant - The bike is charging the battery beautifully, and a fully charged battery gets 14.2-14-4 Volts at idle. For the 20-ish USD I paid for it at the junkyard, I could have most likely bought a direct bolt-on Chinese replacement, but I do trust the old Honda stuff a lot more, than something, that could probably fry my stator, battery or both
