    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    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.

For a 1983 GS1100ED.......US Model.

Can someone tell me if the orange/white wires that go to the coil go to the positive or negative terminals? The schematic does not make reference to the polarity. I tought being two wires of the same colour would be negative...........am I wrong?

Thanks,

Dr. Dre
 
They are positive. The individual grounds to each coil provide signal for firing.
 
Thanks Billy,

That's what my 1150 supplemental section says, wanted to double check for the 1100.

According to my manual orange/white goes to the ignition switch (+), black/yellow goes to ignition coil for cylinder 2&3, white goes to ignition coil for 1&4, and black/white goes to ground.

These wire colours are from a GS850/1000GT manual.
