Voltage regulator wiring
 
Hey guys, does anyone know which terminal is which on the voltage regulator for a 125? Mine isn't labeled... :bigthink:

Each terminal will have a letter stamped into it, you might need to clean up the terminals with some sandpaper to see them.

This might help. Hard to read; page 1-29 of the service manual, available in the tech section.

That's assuming he has a factory regulator.

Yep, you guys were right. It was stamped in it, but it was just really crusty and I had to clean it up good before I could see it.
So, I got it hooked back up correctly and now it goes full charge all the time. I'm getting 17+ volts at the battery. What should I check? Would a bad ground from the regulator base to the frame cause this?

see page 1-30 through 1-32 of service manual

Long time stalker. You have to much voltage to the battery. you can adjust the regulator The pros in here can tell you how.

R Bedell 10-29-2015 07:10 PM

The Voltage Regulator HAS TO be grounded. With a meter (DVM or VOM) measure the connection between the V/R mounting feet and the Battery Negative terminal. It should be zero ohms resistance.

You can adjust it as others have said. If adjusting makes no difference the s/g may be full fielded due to a shorted wire from F terminal to frame or shorted F terminal on s/g internally or shorted field winding. Grounding the F terminal makes this happen. Disconnect your F terminal on the s/g or v/r and see if your charge voltage decreases to 12 volts.
