RE: wires
If you have the standard 32E for your bike there should be a plate that says 'switch' and 'relay'. relay terminal is your positive side.
Just got looking at a couple of pics in the service manual....they show an end section view and from the pics the tall terminal goes to the relay terminal post.
Per manual...on 3 brush generators the standard charging rate is 4 amps with standard operating equipment (tail lamp, speedo lamp and headlight lighted). The regulating third brush is adjusted by loosening the 3 screws under the end of the genrator cover.
A separate current and voltage regulator attached means you have a two brush generator. If the battery is overcharging the manual suggests the problem may be that the regulator is failing to reduce output as it should due to a faulty regulator or generator.
