    1983 GS1100 Battery Confirmation

    Hello:

    I checked the old tech questions on the site and was told that I can hook the green battery indicator wire directly to 12V in cases where the replacement battery does not have a hole drilled for the sensor.

    Is this correct for my 1983 GS1100E?

    Thanks so much.

    Yes, that is correct. Just make sure it is a switched wire.

    Some have put a resistor in-line just to limit the current, just in case.
