    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    So I recently found a video that I believe would have had the solution.if I new how to attach the video here I would. Anyways it appears that I needed to connect a diode to the turn signal indicator connected threw the turn signals. There are a lot of videos on this subject I just had no idea...

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    So I did everything you all had suggested with the exception of checking with an ohms meter. Kinda wish I would have saw this first. Anyways I got sick a not being able to figure out such a simple problem,I mean it's a turn signal circuit on an 81? So anyways I had been wanting to rewire the...

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    Another tibit of info. I noticed that In conjunction with all the turn signals working without the indicator bulb in, that when I do put it in that it will also blink with the 4 turn signal light that are all blinking.

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    I have changed out the rear turn signals with a nicer set and I now have managed to get all the signals working correctly right up until I put the indicator bulb in. Then all four flash like they are emergency blinkers. Any thoughts

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    So,no the black is not the ground .it is left side turn signal voltage .black with white stripe is ground and for the bulb it is set up with power going to both sides. I believe the idea is when you active the turn signal switch it provides ground. You'll have to look at a schematic .

    To answer your question no ,it does not have emergency flashers

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    Ok so here is where I am at today. If I take the turn signal indicator bulb out and disconnect the the right rear voltage to the turn signal which is the light green wire the other 3 turn signals work fine .if I put the indicator bulb back in also leaving the right rear un hooked it makes all...

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    I'm just now seeing these but you are spot on. I eventually did just that .I unplugged the harness going to the indicator lamp and the meter stopped beeping( by this time I have the lights all unplugged and I have a meter hooked up checking for continuity). So currently I'm assuming I have a...

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    Ok. It's been a while since I started working on this so forgive me. Now that I have hook up both front lights I realize the flaw in your thinking that it is detecting the ground. It is I believe detecting the voltage when the turn signal switch is moved left or right and the problem I am having...

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    Everything you said sounds right to me but when I hook the turn signals up they don't work. Not does the indicator. And the bulb is good. I think the problem is somewhere in what you are saying but I'm still coming up short. I am gonna find some OEM lights and hook them back up to see what I get

    Turn signals inop. They have voltage to both sides?

    So I have been having a lighting problem with a 1980 GS450L . I have been attempting to change my turn signals over to led while at the same time up grading my reg/rec and stator do to the bike not charging.so at this point I'm not really sure if I ever had a problem or caused a problem or...

    82 gs850l shocks

    I have add a seat hoop to my 82 gs850l. Then this last year I shortened it up by fabricating a new sub frame or complete rear seat area. To get the stance I would like I may have to increase the length of the OEM shocks a little. Either that or cut I apart and redo it at a slitely different...

    Quick question, can I buy longer shocks for my 82 gs850? If so where would I find options? Thanks

    82 GS850GL strange no spark ,spark on cyl 4?

    What your saying makes sense but it has happened to 2 sets of 4 plugs in a row and maybe more. Its seems like something must be causing the plug to malfunction. I'll check the gap tomorrow. Do you happen to know what the gap should be?

    82 GS850GL strange no spark ,spark on cyl 4?

    It may be had to follow but in what I wrote it says I did all that. And the ignition system is ll brand new ngk and green coils.

    82 GS850GL strange no spark ,spark on cyl 4?

    So I have a a problem I have never seen before and dont know what to make of it. From time to time my bike starts running on 3 cylinders, which leads to me takeing apart the carbs ,checking the coils,ect. And by chance, changing the plugs which fixes the bike unbeknownst to me. Until it happens...

    82 gs850L leaking carbs

    So I read somewhere in here that somebody coated both sides of the bowl gaskets with wheel bearing Greese. And I read somewhere that somebody switched out the the jis screws for the type that take an Allen key. So I did both of these thing aswell as play with the floats someone and I got it to...

    82 gs850L leaking carbs

    Yes. Though obviously something is wrong . I have been playing with these carbs for 4 years now . I have all the tools and I'm very familiar with these carburetors. Aswell as the gs resources. With that said I downloaded your info and looked threw it. I have multiple links like this downloaded...
