Foolish idea?

The absolute bottom you should see upon start up is 10v.  At speed (above 3K) you should see 13.8 to 14.1 or VERY close to it. 

When I got my 2001 it was 15.2v at speed.  Too much, much too much.  Rather that just getting part of the system replaced I went ahead and renewed every part.
Pay one time, work one time, be happy a long time.

I tested today and it was 12.7 v before starting. Then went down to 10.2 briefly when starting. At 3k it was 14.

Sounds like good numbers.
Be sure your voltage regulator has a very good ground!
That regulator gets rid of extra current by shorting it to frame ground and turning it into heat. A bad ground will make it work improperly. The V11EV came with a separate ground wire that connects to the VR case and to frame ground. Both wire contact points should be corrosion free and have a bit of grease to prevent easy water intrusion and slow corrosion.

Item 16 on what page?

"Bikes can sense fear". I like that.

page 66 both are the same part #

I don't see any item #16 on page 66.

The Bassa does not have a sensor on the flywheel. It only has the one in the front for the cam sensor.

Thank you.

I bought the voltage regulator that Ron recommended:
https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/product-p/edl450-voltrect.htm





Here is its wiring diagram:
https://www.euromotoelectrics.com/v/vspfiles/assets/images/edl450-voltrect%20diagram.pdf

My old regulator plugs and wires:




has these wires from left to right
2 yellows to alternator
2 reds, can't see where they go
1 brown, grounded to engine casing
Also ring connector with wire under right side mounting bolt on outside of rectifier. Presumably it's a ground. Can't see where the wire goes.

This 2000 Jackal wiring diagram that I've been using:
https://www.thisoldtractor.com/guzzi007/pdfs/2000_Jackal.pdf

shows a light blue wire coming from the regulator to the dash generator light, and a red/black wire leading to the lights relay, the ignition switch and the low fuel light.

Questions:
Connect new yellow wires to old?  Does it matter which yellow wire goes to which alternator terminal?

Connect new red wire to old red wires? Run new wires for red black and white wires on the new regulator per its wiring diagram?  I'm pretty hazy on those in the diagram.

Would you use plug ends with the wires so they can be unplugged, or just solder with heat shrink? If plugs, what's that connector type called on the new regulator wire ends?

Why are you getting a new regulator? It looks like it was replaced before. The one in the picture looks to be a Shindengen FH020AA regulator which is probably the best you can buy. If it is bad it would be easier to replace with the same kind which is still available. Someone already put on the proper connectors for that regulator.
