    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1979 suzuki rv50 wiring: request for information

I have acquired a 1972 rv50. The year in the title is wrong, but I do not know how to edit the header. The wiring is a mess. I am starting with the charging system. The main harness coming to the charging system is not connected and original connectors have been modified and/or replaced with soldered ends. Wire color integrity has not been preserved. Basically, there are five wires in the main harness serving the charging system. These wires are yellow with a red stripe (Y/R), yellow (Y), green with a white stripe (G/W), green (G), and black (B). With the exception of the black which is soldered to the condenser, I do not know where the other wires connect. There are two charging coils (components wrapped with fine copper wire). One of these coils has three separate connections, two comming off one end of the coil and the other coming off the center of the coil. It is my impression that all wires in the main harness connect to this coil, but again I do not know which color goes where. The remaining charging coil has a single wire coming off the central aspect, which like the black wire in the main harness, is soldered to the condensor. If anyone has any information, I would appreciate their input.

Thanks,

Gerard

Check out the Suzuki two stroke forum: http://www.suzuki2strokes.com


They have wiring diagrams.


Your bike may have a half-wave rectifier plus a two-circuit electrical system, where some components run on AC & others run on DC.
 
I checked out the site. They do not seem to have the information I am looking for. Thanks for the reference.
 
Its obviously up to you, but you are more likely to get a useful answer if you join that forum and ask your questions there.


Electrical problems on some other RV-series bikes were addressed in that forum.
Those bikes have a half-wave rectifier plus a two-circuit electrical system, where some components run on AC & others run on DC.
That's very different than what the GS-series bikes have.
