    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.

80s GS450 left switch mystery piece

Hi everyone,

I recently dismantled the switch gear on what I'm told is an 81' GS450ET (if that's even possible). I thought I kept good records of where everything went but I can't for the life of me figure out where this little plastic piece came from. I seem to remember it being with a spring. The only thing I can think of is that maybe it goes between the spring and metal pin that touches the turn signal contacts?

Here's an image of the piece in question:


And here's an image of the switch
 
Does the turn signal switch still have a noticeable detent as in goes back into center "off" position ? Or maybe it's an insulator like you're thinking. That switch is unlike the suzuki ones that I have seen.
 
Thanks for the response. The turn signal does give a noticeable click in the off position, I don't have it wired back up yet but all the controls seem to action properly.
