Where is it located? Can you take a pic zoomed out so we can actually see the whole area?

Going off of connector types, I’m guessing maybe the ignition switch….

The ignition switch plug looks like it's been touching your exhaust.

Looks like rectifier
Looks like rectifier
The zx7 doesn't have a separate rectifier like most bikes do.
looks like the main connector from the ignition switch to the main harness. If someone left the baffle plate off ( or didn’t check before installing), the plug would sit on the exhaust headers and melt. Ask me how I know??

I should have been more clear.

The rectifier is in the alternator of the zx7 as opposed to zx10r/zx14/zx14r/gtr1400 etc., where the rectifier is separate from the alternator/generator.
