Help! Have a problem with my GS 850G. Bike runs fine but headlight and turn signals don't work. Not a fuse, because it's not blown. Any ideas? Thanks..Steve

The only help I can offer is to tell you to get a manual with a wiring diagram and trace the problem. My bike's turn signals had been 're-arranged' by the PO and I had find the wires and check continuity with a tester.
Since it's both lights and turn signals, I wonder if your combination switch is bad.

Another thing to consider...any time you get really strange symptoms...CHECK YOUR GROUND CONNECTIONS!sigpic

My friend is having the same problem with his 450. A dumb idea another friend of mine has is the ignition switch. You may be getting a connection to run the bike, but the terminal for the lights may be bad. We're still testing this theory out.Comment

Guys,
Thanks for the info. It turned out to be a bad ground connection. Cleaned it up and everything works fine.Comment

Where was the bad ground at? This may be helpful on the 450.Comment
