    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.

Gs850 Speedo Info Needed

Help required. I am fitting an instrument cluster from a GS850 to my GS550B. Coming out of the rear of the speedo are two wires. One is black with red tracer and the other is blue with a red tracer. They both go to a unit inside the speedo. I think the gadget they go to is called a "distance sensor" going by the wiring diagram for the GS850 that Basscliff gave me. Can anyone tell me what a "distance sensor" is and what it does and do I need to connect it up to anything on the 550?

Cheers
Don
 
It activates the automatic turn signal controller. If you put the flasher on and turn, once you again exceed 14km/h (this is the sensor) then a timer switches off the flasher after 9 seconds. Not sure if the speed and time period is the same for all models though.
 
I agree, it's the distance sensor. Since your bike does not have the auto-cancel feature for the turn signals, just leave them loose, but put them where they won't be in the way.

Interesting how this forum is world-wide. Problem in Australia, solution from South Africa, confirmation from the US. \\:D/
Also just noted that the solution was there in only 24 minutes.

Global village! Great for the good stuff, but unfortunately the bad stuff also goes around like this!:evil:
 
Thanks guys. Appreciate your input so quickly. Have snipped the wires off appropriately and am currently slodering everything back together. As soon as this job is done the exhaust camshaft comes out ready for the new one. thanks again guys.
Cheers Don
