    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    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.

My '82 GS850G signal light controller broken .. horn button was also broken so I got another one .. but it seems a bit earlier. I did get the headlight working .. even the dipper switch and high beam / low beam switch and the horn but not the signals -- 2 days and counting !!

Anyone have any tips how to suss out the logic ... the wire colours dont match and the wring diagrams are spotty too ...

1982 Turn signal wiring with earlier handlebar controller ?

I will add a pix when I go to garage in basement if necessary

UPDATE: Found basscliff wiring diagrams in colour -- helpful

My switch has wire colours W Y O O/R W/R W/G B O lgn/B Gn W/B -- must be the 1979 model with the spring in the turnsignal lever that returns it to center position ..

11 wires on switch and 10 wires on broken 1982 switch ... so confusing

PIX SHOWS WIRING STRIP THAT HELPED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM !!!!
