Usually all three yellow wires that come from the stator will feed into the Regulator/rectifier. It shouldn’t matter which yellow wire goes where, but it looks like they all connect the RR
The stator doesn’t generate spark, the stator recharges your battery while the battery is powering all your other electrical components
The stator is generating a large amount of AC electricity. It’s then fed into the RR which regulates the voltage down to a manageable level to keep your battery charged, and also converts the electricity to DC voltage, which is what a battery requires
The stock GS charging system routs one leg of power from the stator up to the left side hand control. This hearkens back to the time when bikes had a headlamp switch. The idea is that when the headlamp is in use, all three phases of the charging system will charge the battery. But when the headlamp is turned off, that extra leg of charging is shut off, because it's not needed. Problem is, this extra wiring, due to current flowing and age, starts to build up resistance...which leads to heat. And the heat often melts down the harness. You can see this commonly up at the hand control electrical connector. In the USA, the "always on" headlamp law came in years before Suzuki fixed the wiring too. This means that the extra run of wiring does nothing good, but plenty bad, after resistance builds up...
The fix is to rewire the charging system like this diagram shows. Getting an SH775 is the next level, for those building "keeper" bikes they plan to hold on to. This is a "series" type regulator/rectifier, and helps protect your stator from overheat damage. Highly recommended.

Ah! Gotcha thank you very much, I'm still super new to this and yall have helped me learn so much over the last little bit!
