high resistance = loose connection or poor contact, this is from the alternator to the regulator recifier.

a common thing on these bikes which could indicate a faulty reg/rec do a search gets asked weekly here.

What are you asking buddy?

The 3 wires you described are from the stator, which I would say will be black, burnt and knackered. Whip the flywheel cover off and the flywheel and have a look.

Those 3 yellow wires come from the generator and carry a lot of high current, which the reg/rec then drops to charge the battery.

If the wires are hot they have excess current.. this is usually a bad conenction.. they goto a spade connector block.. this gets dirty over time and causes lots of heat and melts the block.

If you repair / replace these wires they MUST be soldered and not crimped or twisted.

While your at it worth doing electrical tests on the genny output to make sure it's still in spec.

I've chopped the block connector off completely in the past and hard-soldered the wires together..
