    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.

Oh boy, that's a lot of wires.... (headlight bucket questions)

Uhhh. So I replaced my gauges... almost. Should have taken a photo.

The color/shape coded wiring in the bucket is great. But I have several wires, besides the ones I labeled, that have nothing connected to them. For example, the clutch safety switch. I think that's a yellow/green male and yellow green female to two straight yellow female and male matching connectors.

I have one open grey connector, and one double-female black/white wire that had only one wire connected to it before. Maybe there's an additional light that I'm missing or something.

I'll try to read through the wiring diagram a few more times.

If anyone has any photos or suggestions, they're more than welcome.
 
The gray wire is for gauge lighting or marker lights, which your bike did not have (it's an extra wire).

Ok. Put it back together best as I could see it goes - there's not much choice actually.

It helps if you connect the gear indicator... heh.


Cranks, headlight hi/lo works, turn signals work instrument lights work, front and rear brake switches work, horn works, pretty sure I get spark, but it hasn't been run in ages, so I'll have to prime the carbs and all that malarkey.


The only things that aren't figured out:

There's one grey female connector that has voltage with the key on but doesn't seem to connect to anything.

There's still the male/female pair of yellow/green wires with nothing attached to them.
I can see the pair of wires for the clutch safety slide switch are also yellow/green. Connecting them to each other doesn't do anything - the bike cranks with the clutch in or out, and it didn't before the swap.

Bless you. For that matter, Bless suzuki. I want to add marker lights. :clap:
 
Sweet. I got it figured out - I had effectively bypassed the clutch safety switch. I had connected a Yellow/green straight to a green wire coming from the starter button, so I just inserted the pair of wires coming from the CS switch between the green and yellow/green and voila! Finished just as it got too dark to work.

Still no oil light though. I wonder if the bulb is burned out.
