Wiring loom question

[brian 450]

Hi,my Z hasn’t been used for 3years, I am fitting a new loom. My question is what plugs into the second plug from left next to the green one behind the LH side panel.

if you mean the white connector its the rectifier

[brian 450]

My rectifier has a green plug

My rectifier has a green plug

Wrong... that's the regulator.

WHITE: RECTIFIER
GREEN: REGULATOR
BLUE: ALTERNATOR
BROWN: MAIN HARNESS

The REGULATOR is a replacement from power. Not got a rectifier on bike for some reason.

Just checked it and the regulator I have. there are 3 yellow 1 brown 1 black and 1 white coming from it. So does it plug in the white or green? The plug on it is green

Without pictures I cannot say for sure but I suspect you have the combine rec/reg unit in which case you use the green connector and leave the white one unused.

[brian 450]

Yes that’s what I am thinking. Thanks for help guys

Maybe it's a combined rectifier/regulator, green plug goes to the green socket, black wire is the earth & the white wire is the charging wire for the battery. It's possible if you leave the white wire disconnected the battery will go flat ?
