    82 GS1100GK electrical gremlin

    Hi all, new here.

    My 82 GS1100GK keeps blowing the 10A instrument/turn signal fuse. I can't find as fault anywhere. Any suggestions-quick fix? Common cause?

    Thanks!

    start by un-pluging all four turn signals, pop in a fuse and see what happens.
    then if it doesn't blow the fuse, check each turn signal for a short to ground.

    it sounds like a wire shorted to ground.

      Check around the headstock/headlamp shell for chaffs in the loom.

        Ditto the previous 2. Also look around the steering column for pinched wires, I had one get caught between the tree and the steering stop, caused the same issue.

        Welcome to the GSR, you wont find a group of better people anywhere!

          Ditto the previous 3 As a fellow GK owner, could you post a pic of your bike? I'm getting close to finishing mine. All I have left to do is learn how to pinstripe before applying the final clearcoat.

          Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.

            Irome,

            Does this fuse blow right away?
            Or after riding a while?
            I can send you a schamatic of 82 GK.


            Willie,
            I can send you links to pics of my GK.
