Difference between Rectifiers 77/78 550K
« on: March 17, 2012, 10:19:31 AM »
Hi,

There are 2 rectifiers labeled in the wiring diagram... what does the one by the fuse box do?

What is the difference?

Clutch safety switch.

'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Draw and drawer. Could care less/couldn't care less. Bought/brought FFS.

The single diode keeps the neutral light from illuminating each time the clutch lever is pulled in.

The six diode module converts A.C. power from the alternator to D.C. power for the bike and battery to use.
