    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

Front indicator

Forum Apprentice
Hello everyone. My front left indicator isnt working on my 1980 GS850. I checked the voltage at the globe holder and it was only .05 volts flashing on and off. I can use a multimeter but im no expert with electrics. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks Chris
 
I'll bet if you take the headlamp out of the bucket and trace both the + & ground wires for that lamp, you'll find something. A wiring diagram is always helpful. Look on BikeCliff's Website (there's that site again) https://gsarchive.bwringer.com/

yes. Usually just 3 screws around the edge. I’m sure models vary, but most likely 12, 4 and 8 o’clock around the outside of the bucket. I’m hoping you’ve noticed I’ve twice now directed you to BikeCliffs website, where you’ll find factory service manual, wiring diagrams and a whole lot more.
 
Getting headlight out will be a piece of cake, Sometimes getting it back in can be quite an aggravation.... Not complicated, just aggravating.
