    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.

GS 450 Relays

I have recently had a friend take my battery off to jump his motorcycle and in the process the negative wire was not removed and some wires touched on the positive side causing a wire from the positive side running over to the negative side to burn up. Everything was then unhooked. The wire was replaced and the battery was re-installed and the motorcycle starts and runs fine with the neutral and gear numbering lighting working just fine. But my headlamp, horn, and blinkers do not work. So I feel that my relays may have been damaged in the process of the wire burning up. I was wanting to know if anyone could tell me where the relays are located or if they think that the problem may be somewhere else.
 
For everybody else , when working on/near the battery always remove the ground wire first(for obvious reasons).
 
Jojo, you have NO (small) relays on the bike. Check your fuses, instead.

The closest thing to a "relay" is the starter solenoid, which is just a heavy-duty relay.

.
 
Stock setup on a 450 like Steve says is no relays... as for fuses there is only one main fuse which is under the left side cover. If that was blown then your bike shouldn't start at all as no power would get to your coils etc.

I suspect you have a bit more of an issue going on there... either that or someone has modified your wiring from stock perhaps.
