    Non starter GS650G

    I'm realy confused and not happy.
    GS650G I Think (not a katana)
    My GS stopped running and i found what looks like an ignition relay, which has suffered from water damage and it looks like that's the problem, (BUT).
    I can't find anyone who knows what i mean but ignition relay.
    Everyone i've asked, have all said it's a starter relay not an ignition relay.
    So why does the oil light, nutral like and power go off when i remove the little black box.
    Inside the box is a contact and a pot. looks like points and condencer, but in a little black box with 2 spade connectors at right angles.
    I love this bike but it's now dead and i need it on the road.
    PLease Help me.

          Only thing that I can think of offhand that has two spade connectors at right angles, is your blinker relay.

          But that would not be the cause of the bike not "running" unless there is other electrical/wiring damage.

            They only made the 650's three years, all of them the same.

            And to the maker of this thread, please post a picture. It would take all the guesswork out of it
