This short harness allows near plug'n'play upgrade from the older 4-pin Voltage Regulator / Rectifier to the improved 5-pin design. Simply plug the male 4-pin connector into the stock harness, plug the 6-pin connector into the new VRR, and run the 12-ga ground wire back to the frame ground lug (follow the black wire from the battery -ve terminal).
Note that the fuse carrier seen in the picture above has been deleted until such time that I can be sure that it won't cause more problems than it solves.
Standard live length is 1" between connectors; longer units can be made for $5 per foot or fraction.
Price is $30 plus shipping.
Edit 6 July 2011: I am now offering a 6" pigtail connection, 16 Gauge in Red, Black, and 3x White, for those who prefer to clip the OEM plug and solder in a replacement. This may be of interest to those who've already modified their harnesses with individual female spade connectors. Price is $15 + shipping.
Edit 30 August 2011: This VRR adaptor harness works with Yamaha part numbers 4JH-81960-00 or -01, or 5SL-81960-00. I've seen other info suggesting it will also work with a 5FL-81960-00 or 5KP-81960-00. It will work with any 3-phase 'shunt' regulator with the same pin arrangement.
