31k Alternator to Rectifier connection

[andrel]

Sorry if a stupid or obvious question, but i no longer have the standard plugs and need to make the alternator to rectifier  wiring connection manually.

The 3 thick white wires comming from the alternator - do they connect with the three corresponding white wires coming from the rectifier in any order?

If not, how do i figure out which white alternator wire connects with its corresponding white rectifier wire?

Thanks

Any white connects to any white

Thanks Dusty, that is a relief to know. Do not want to burn out my bike at the tail end of the build

While you are here and if i may draw on your knowledge - how do one know whether the alternator sits far enough back on the crank? The nut is flush with the end of the shaft (maybe a turn or two in), torqued to spec, the raised bit runs directly underneath the pick-up and nothing makes contact with the plastic cover, but if you look at the back of the alternator a few mm of the windings can be seen sticking out.

Not sure my description makes sense. Will try and post a picture.

Hi
Sounds about right. Don't forget the rotor needs to clear the stator plate mounting bolts. I draw a line across the rotor nut once it's torqued. That way it's easy to see if the nut ever loosens off;

Thanks Dusty. Good idea with the marking, think i will do the same. Cheers.

Here is a pic - seems OK?

Looks right to me As you say, the raised pick up on the rotor runs directly under the stator sensor, just where it needs to be, and you have clearance on the stator fixing bolts.
