20.00 in my paypal for anyone that can draw me up a basic wiring diagram

This should cover the bare essentials to get the engine to run. I'm assuming you have electronic ignition. You will need to figure out the wiring for 1&4 and 2&3 as far as the igniter and signal generators go.

Good start; fusing may need some work.

Yeah, I didn't bother with much in that respect not knowing what he's really up to. Fuses between the battery and the ignition and starter solenoid would be a good idea. If he's using the stock fuse box more detail is needed.

the reasons i'm willing to pay to have it drawn out:

20 bucks is nothing...
want to do it right the first time, with limited wiring knowledge
want a decent looking diagram to pass on to the next potential owner in the event that i sell the bike, which is likely because i bore of cars/bikes quickly


BUT...

i realize i have done everything else on this bike myself without paying for a single service, and i have to learn eventually... so i think i may give it a shot on my own

just itching to get her running again you know?

The diagram I drew up will work. I don't care about the $20. I only have a minute and won't get back to the site for a few days to go over igniter and signal generator wiring. Don't take a shot in the dark with the igniter. Just to give you a little more to do, if you have two signal generators the one to the rear is for 1&4, the one up front 2&3. If you have two sockets with 4 terminals in each socket I can let you know how to hook that up. Don't make a mistake with the igniter, it'll cost you big.

Here is a really simple diagram I made for my bike. I'm not sure what is the same between our bikes but this should help get you started. One quick note, I'm using a car style ignition switch (turn the key to start the bike) so you'll see that the starter switch is wired in the ignition switch. Just move the wire connected to the "start" position in the diagram to a switch with a wire coming from the positive of your battery connected to the other side of the switch. I also have the coil relay mod worked in there. I think that diagram should be good.

Edit: Oops. I realized the ignition switch is not labeled in my diagram. It's the one to the left of the table marked "dimmer switch".

Wow, not in my world. Please, feel free to send me as much "nothing" as you can possibly spare. Even when I was (well) employed, $20 was still $20.

I still say take the stock wiring diagram and use a highlighter to mark the wires you want to keep. Or maybe take the diagram and a black marker and block out all the stuff you don't want. It wouldn't be that hard to do, just trace backwards getting rid of things like the turn signal wiring and the wiring feeding the cluster. Remove all the tape from the harness and get busy.

Pretty much how I did the 850. Ya almost have to have a factory diagram so ya know for sure what ya *dont* want.

I had one blown up at Kinkos so I could actually see it posted on the garage wall.

Kinda like this? Works mostly but there are a few details on the charging and grounding that need to be sorted.

Here is a Pdf version with much more resolution.

Great Schematic. I have a question that maybe you can answer.

I purchased a 1986 GS1150 with a 1983 GS1100E engine.

The starter has always been slow/weak from the day I purchased it (2009) but has always easily started the bike. I went to start the bike a few weeks ago with a new battery in hand. The starter barely turned over, and the bike would not start. Fast forward a couple of weeks.
I have removed the starter and was about to replace the brush assembly. I decided to do some other maintenance and discovered that one of the Stator connector wires was at minimum loose (wire came loose from the terminal end connector) and possibly not making a connection at all.

Could this have been the cause of the weak starter motor operation all along?

It would cause your battery not to charge.
With a freshly charged battery the starter should work properly with or without the stator connected at all.

I'm wondering what the Hey this questions has to do with the thread?

Well the schematic does include the charging system.

Well obviously a loose wire to the R/R is a bad thing as it has been suggested may times to either get high quality connectors or preferably do a direct solder job from stator to R/R.

So it is possible this caused a charging issue? That should be self evident. :-\\\

Well I'm an old electronics major and did know that a bad connection to the R/R would have some effect. I figured it would just effect the charging of the battery, but I am always willing to defer to the knowledgedable, helpful, well meaning, experts whom one might think would be willing to helpout.
I mean you never know one of the old experts might know something everyone else does not know.
I guess its all in how you read what you read.

I can certainly imagine, if I had found such a bad connection after having changed the starter and stator that a would have felt the urge to post a similar rhetorical question . In fact I think I have
