1983 Suzuki GS1100ED --- "Big Boy"

Wow, you have THE crappiest luck with vehicles...

Got lost too many times at the tire store???

Daniel

Not at all! I have a GPS! My truck's engine seized up (I knew that was coming....) so I need a car. The bike won't be ready for a while either. *sigh*

Hello dark cloud....

Got lost too many times at the tire store???

Daniel

Unless you guys can give me $$$, it's for sale. $850 takes it. No lower. I spent that much only on the frame and engine so I think my price is fair. It runs!

Two kidneys, two testicles... you can spare one of each...

Hopefully the latter didn't get him in trouble - don't want little flaming chainsaws running around just yet.

You got a buyer on that testicle?!

Not an option.. Ya can't do it.. sell a kidney or something..

Got a package containing coils from sschering. Thanks! I jumped the solenoid and the bike runs great. Idles and revs good. Most likely because of the new igniter.

But I fear that I may have to sell the bike soon for personal reasons.

Awww man... Not again. I really hope I can keep the bike. I will find out this weekend.

That single orange/white wire is I think something to do with the kill/starter switch. Like that goes to the starter solenoid, kickstand switch, or something like that. Or the gas sender. I'm off my game today.

Did you say you had to change the plug on the right switch I sent because it didn't match your harness? (that turned out to be an 80 harness or something)

Yup. And that's why I will need to reconnect that plug to the right switch. Good thing I kept it!

Sorry. I have more bad news.

I have these extra wires hanging around.


I turned the key and every light works except for the headlight. WTF???

It must have something to do with those extra wires. And of course it doesn't run because those 2 orange wires with bullets are for the start button.

EDIT: My speedometer, tachometer, fuel gauge, and oil temp gauge lights do not work either.

OK the big plug on top has 8 slots but only 7 wires in it?
The White/red tracer wire tells me it's for the right handle bar switch..

That looks like the plug for the gear indicator lights. The other end will come from where the stator wires come out.
Is the headlight possibly burnt out?

UUuuhhhmmmm, don't those two white connectors plug together? Looks like the wire coloring is not right though. One is female and one is male. Or is one 6 conductor and the other is 4 conductor? Looking at wire coloring those two white/orange bullet connectors want to goto the white male connector. Time to trace down your schematic

Yeah there's two of those, mine connect right around the coils, under the tank. A blue one and a white one, with a single wire connected between the two with a bullet connection.

I actually haven't looked under the gas tank yet. Better check!

you should have coils w good boots tomorrow

Sweet.

Got myself some M6 x 1.00 x 20 bolts for the igniter. Perfect! But I hate having to remove the rear master cylinder and brake piston just to get to it. I will have a Dyna S one day...
