Gear indicator switch location on motor, 1983 GS1100E

[Guest]

Okay collective intellect, where on my girl is the gear indicator switch located? I have looked on the wiring diagram but...no mention of location. I just picked up a new one and need to know where it goes. Thanks.

Did you ever get a real manual?

Thanks Posplayr, and I have not yet gotten my manual. I want an original owners manual and either a factory service manual or Clymer'Haynes, just have not done it yet. I do have a pdf of the service manual I found online but I prefer a real paper edition.

Yep, you gotta get the bike on a lift or down on the floor to see it.

Make sure you install it with a new o-ring.

the switches are still available. I bought a gear indicator off eBay and installed it so I can see what gear I'm in. (Keep in mind I'm talking about my sidecar.)
