Ah no R/R stands for Regulator/ rectifier If you have the original non finned type then I would recomend that you change it to either a yamaha R1 or R6 one or get the later finned honda one . there is a guide to the yam one in the workshop section .

It looks like a black match box with a conector at one end and a earth wire atached to one of the mounting bolts , the later one has cooling fins on it .
you need a multi meter to test the output :wave:
