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...

wiring individual guages to GS450

I am working on wiring individual guages (minus the instrument panel) to a GS450. The 850 units i have are from a suzuki. In my haste to switch these over I failed to see if the electrical plugs would match up. Is at as simple as trying to match up colors? :confused:

Is the wiring on the 850 guages going to match up? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Being mechanical speedo and tach they should work even without the lighting until I get this wiring fixed correct??
 
Depending on the year of the 850 gauges, they might have all the correct wiring, but most (if not all) of the colors should be the same.

Does your '83 450 have a side stand light? Those did not show up on the 850s until the '82 model year, so if your gauges are older than that, you will have a wire left over in your harness.

Yes, your gauges should work even though they don't have lights.

Just double checked the guages are off a 82 850 g. It is of of a bike that was being parted out in the sales section. Minaly concerned with finding the colors and wiring for the following.

Gauge power lights
Nuetral indicator light
Oil pressure light
Ground wire
Fuel guage
