    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.

Hi-Res 80GS850GT Wiring Diagram

I have finally come good with my promise of doing a Hi Res drawing. I traced over the original using paint.net

Can someone please advise on how best to give it to the forum. As well as advising on the best "order of layers" for the image in paint.net

I also do not mind gifting the paint.net file for the Forum users. Just buy me a Coffee when you see me.

My reasoning for the paint.net effort is that the user can print just the wires that he is interested in, to avoid the crossed eyes effect.

Hi,

That's a great looking diagram. If you get yourself a Mediafire account you can upload it and share it. Would you consider allowing me to host a copy on my little website?


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Very nicely done indeed!!!

Nice job, you are one of the many reasons this forum is great.

Now to take it way up a notch can you animate it to show troubleshooting scenarios.

Now that would be damned cool
 
Thanks for all the great comments, i consider this my 5 minutes of fame.

I will forward the files to BassCliff for his stamp of approval. As i think the original came from his site, or at least a link. I created a seperate layer in paint.net for each colour wire, for the greatest flexibility. Maybe he can show a before and after for fun.

One big hurdle was working from a poor scan, and i had to referance with an old black & white one with the colours written below.

I will be trying to learn Autocad Electrical this Chrismas, in an attempt to make it better, or at least another model, but good source diagram is hard to get.

Looks nice.

Not certain what is the significance of "order of layers".

But if could turn on/off differnt layers, might be intersting to have the circuits from each fuse on a seperate layer.

.
 
Hi Redman, the layers of the paint.net file are important, as it affects the final print. (I am fastidious that way, but some call me FULL OF SHIRT). Take a look at the, turn signal control unit, wires for example. Some appear to go over & under other wires.
Therefore i would prefer the more important wires to lay over the not so important ones.

The simple non complex circuit could be at the bottom, like the positive to ignition switch.

I did it in paint.net, so that i could re-arrange at will. I am also arranging with BassCliff to host it on his website

Nice, very nice. A printed copy of each layer on clear pages...
I am seeing all sorts of future tutorials using this in their guides. So much more effective than black and white.
 
Hi Keman,

i take it that BassCliff has already posted it up, cannot find it on his page though?

Please provide link. Or maybe Basscliff can provide link to his site.

I haven't posted it to my site yet. I've been out all day fixing computers and Christmas shopping. I'll let you know when I get it up.

In the meantime, I've got it stored HERE. It's a png file but most picture viewer apps should be able to open it. It's not very big (about 165KB) but it scales up nicely without pixelating.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Hi,

I just wanted to let you know that I've put up Mr. Roadkill2's newly redone 1980 GS850G wiring diagram on my little website. Look for the "New" icon in the wiring diagrams section.

My thanks to Paul (Mr. Roadkill2) for his efforts and his generosity for letting me host a copy on my little website.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff
 
Thanks BassCliff, but i cannot find it on your website. Please post link.
 
When I get back to work next week, I'll try printing it on larger paper, on the big plotter.

FWIW, I found that although my bike is titled as an '80, it was built in late '79. My wiring appears to be a mix, some parts of it match one drawing, some parts the other one.
