1997 F650 funduro: Voltage regulator/rectifier problem. Seeking advice.

I have the classic symptoms: bike runs poorly, once it gets hot it stalls and the battery is drained. I checked the voltage across the battery terminals while cold and it was normal, then I saw this. The 2 wire harness from the voltage regulator is melted/burned on the red/white wire. A new VR/R is in the mail. just retire this all with dielectric grease and go? Or do I have more diagnosing to do here?

1993 yamaha xj600/seca II clutch issue.

i have a 1993 yamaha xj600, and i had to change the clutch 2 years ago and ever since i havent been able to get the clutch system working.

the clutch lever has no resistance besides whatever the little spring on the clutch actuator arm gives.

the bike will not move with the clutch actuator arm pulled all the way to the right in first gear.

The push rod that goes into the actuator gear in the clutch cover flops around and i’m wondering if i’m missing a push rod that slides in the main shaft and pushes against it on the other side. i’ve been at this for 2 years i have little to no experience, no one to help me in person and virtually no info online. any advice is appreciated…
