monza 12 volt conversion
Posted: Wed May 25, 2005 11:06 pmHi; Would any one have a wiring diagram they could send me.
Also info on ,or diag. of the conversion to 12V.
I have a monza thats been converted and the work is realy quite sad.
Thanks, Steve .

You can find scanned images of electrical schematics from original manuals on . If it's a track bike there is a simple schematic in the Singles Resource link on the main docc.ca page.

To convert an alternator single to 12v, do the folowing:
Disconnect & insulate the 2 ground wires on the stator coil. These are the wires soldered to the backing plate. Heat shrink tubing is good for the insulation. Connect the alternator wires to a 25amp 50 PIV full wave bridge rectifier (availiable at an electronics store- cheap). Connect the positive & negative terminals of the rectifier directly to the battery & ground (+ to+; - to gr; - on battery to gr). The rest of the wiring stays the same. You do not need a regulator. Works great.

If get a chance shoot some pictures of the modified stator and I'll post them with your instructions.

Don't have a modified stator lying around. Will try to do a before & after for you in the near furture.

Posted: Sat Jun 11, 2005 2:51 pmHi; The reason I had inquired about the conversion was that I had recieved a monza with a conversion already done. I'm trying to get the bike back to original, but keeping the 12 V system.
As it stands now the wiring looks like it was done by one of the three blind mice.
Thanks for the replys, cheers, Steve.

Now that we're clear on what you want, we have to ask a few questions, like: How much of the original harness remains?
The 12v conversion would only require the replacement of the original 6v regulator/rectifier unit, and would not require any replacment wiring. If you've got a rat's nest, it could be because of old age and the plastic harness tubes disintegrating (these flexible black tubes cover the wires, and are similar to heat-shrink, and Ducati still uses it). It could also be the 18, or 20 gauge wire Ducati used was a little light and prone to melting if electrical ugliness happened, and a previous owner re-wired.
So what have you got, and what do you want to do? Now we know the general situation Give us the details, and we'll try to help.
