    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.

minimalist wiring for a gs1100

I'm stripping down my gs1100, as minimal as possible. Headlight, tailight, start button, kill switch. nothing more.

I'm struggling with understanding wiring.

Can someone walk me through what I need to do?

Or at least a resource I can turn to to learn?

Brake light? Gauge illumination? Horn? Once you take away the turn signals, pretty much everything else might have to stay.

In your locale, what's required for the bike to be street legal?
 
I was trying to find your thread to post, but could only find the diagram.

Ha, no I am not going to use any of that junk. I want really only what the bike actually needs to run. If it were possible I'd have no lights at all or key.

Is it possible to have just the stator, coil, rect, and start button?

You think it is?? Then can you give advice?

My advise is for you to get a wiring diagram and trace all the important wires. Things like the ignition, charging system, etc. Then go to work stripping all the unnecessary wires out of the harness. Have fun.:cool:

Will do. thank you for the great advice.
 
Why wouldn't you want taillights, brake lights, gauge lights...you know all the things to help you see at night and be seen?

But yea, go to Basscliff's site and download the wiring diagram for your bike. Just please look through everything and know what you have before you just start cutting connectors. Some wires share connectors with the other important stuff.
 
Many of us will give all kinds of advice, some of it might not be recommended or endorsed by Suzuki or other authorities,
but when you look for advise on how to specifically endanger yourself and possibly others, we will refrain from helping at all. :o

I can see possibly not having gauge illumination (ignorance is bliss) or turn signals (that's what hand signals are for), but to not have brake lights or tail lights?

By the way, why not eliminate the starter, too? You can always bump start it whenever you feel the urge to ride.

Please let us know where you will be riding, so we know when we might be in danger.

Sorry, you are on your own with this one.
