Hello everyone! I'm new to this forum as I recently picked up a non-running 86' GS450L. I just put a new battery in the bike today to try to get this thing running again. I turned the key and nothing happened, no lights on the cluster, completely dead. I looked over the harness and found nothing out of the ordinary besides these two bullet connectors that are just hanging there in the headlight area. One is two black and white wires and the other is two brown wires both running to nothing. Could this be a part of the problem? If not what should be the first steps I take in solving this issue? I am unsure where to go from here so I could use some help! Glad to be a part of this community! Thanks in advance.

1986 GS450L New Battery - No Power

Hi there and welcome to the forum. Those wires are for the front indicators and not being connected will not be the reason for no power to the system. I don't have an answer for you about what the problem could be however, I am sure there will be someone here who has some advise regarding electric gremlins and why you have no power.
