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 question

Okay so I have a 1980 GS550L and I'm confused on the wiring. I looked for a wiring diagram in color, unfortunately there isn't one on this site that I've found. I'm trying to trace where a couple of the wires from the light switch on the left handlebar are going. I was able to track most, but a couple are baffling me. I have an 11-pin connector on mine and I lost track of where a couple of the wires were going when they entered the harness. Most every other diagram I've looked at shows 2 of them going to the RR and the stator. I don't think mine does this but I can't be sure. Does anyone have a diagram for this model? The one in the back of the book shows this same setup and I don't think it's how mine is done. Thanks!
 
Hi,

Are you talking about a Hi/Low headlight beam switch? Or an On/Off switch for the headlight?

Thank you for your indulgence,

Well I figured out that it doesn't look through the switch like the book shows. However the reason I am going through the switch wiring etc is because when I have the low beam on, my high beam dash indicator flickers on and off sometimes seemingly random. I figured this had to be a short or bad ground so I have been going through everything. Any ideas?
