Here is a link to your wiring diagram in "File Base", www.kzrider.com/filebase/doc_download/278-z1000b1
I don't know which R/R would have those wire colors. The three yellow would be for the Stator, but the rest are all the same, Green? Thats strange.

Who made the stator? Green is not a normal color of wire for output of the stator. Post a picture if possible.

Does that Regulator/ Rectifier have a brand and part number, also a picture would be helpful.
The three yellows are to the stator, but the others, well one of the reds would go back to the battery B+ usually 10 gauge size. The other Red is it Small, like 14 or 16 gauge or have a stripe? What about those 2 green wires. Are they the same, neither has a stripe or something to see a difference?

Going to be about impossible to wire it that way. Consider changing to a more standard replacement unit. As maybe this from z1enterprises
www.z1enterprises.com/ItemDetails.aspx?item=RI10-515

Or one from Oregon Motorcycle parts,

Any Idea on the hook up of the similar colored wires? Red and Green?
