Motorcycle in Australia with id # 12708* is a GS850 GT ?? so says my manual??.... any clairvoyant/knowledgeable types know how to read VIN numbers?? with a bit more depth and perception??
Just spent the last couple of days learning and trying to understand/fix my recently acquired for cheap GS including the wiring system. Once I finally got bike fired up, I decided it was time to try and start getting it ready to get registered. So the bike came with wrong clocks, no gear indication.... slow blinkers..... no park lights...no brake lights... (no brakes for that matter which I have front half fixed, waiting for rebuild kit at moment for back half) ... no licence light.....no horn.. you get the idea.. having a badly wired up set of wrong clocks with extra wires left in the harness is throwing me off a little.
To aid in the process, I am reading the manual and wiring diagrams.
I blew up my wiring diagrams on the home printer.... could not follow the manual small print.... without getting a headache... or confused...
Had to buy a $3 magnifying glass to confirm colours or gears etc.... baaahhhhhhuuummmbuuggg
I know the differences are small but I hoping a local can fill me in on peculiarities of the GS850 ... I notice gear wiring is slightly different colour codes... US model doesn't have kill switch?? I saw some models had side stand check indicator??
you guys rule!!
thanks
