    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...

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.

HELP ME !!! Electrical troubles

Hello once again. Many people are being very helpful with information about working on my newly aquired 1983 GS550L. Presently I am having an electrical problem. I could not get any of the plugs to fire so I started checking the wiring from the coils and ran into a snag. There is a 6 slot connector and a 4 slot connector both towards the rear by the battery that are not plugged into anything and I can not seem to find out where they go. The wires to the six plug connector are the same colors as the coil wires if that is any help. Thank you all for helping so far and any help you can give me on this problem will be greatly appreciated. THANKS.
 
have a look at this.

wires same colors as coils? sounds like the ignitor might be missing, not good.
 
Start looking on ebay for an ignitor. Post here in Wanted Parts for one, other years may fit.
 
MFGS - have you checked the signal generator and the wires from it ?
If you have an aftermarket unit (Dyna, Newtronics etc), the wires will bypass the stock ignitor. If this is the case with your bike, there is no need for an ignitor unit at all and the previous owner will probably have removed it.
