    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...

    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.

Rebuilding an old 1982 GS 650 L that sat outside abandoned for four years, It now runs and drives around my yard in 1st gear! This forum and assoc pages have been a godsend so far! Soooooo much knowledge!
In trying to get indicator lights working have conductance on orange / green from flasher connector to lamp fuse, and conductance from grey connector plug to indicator switch on handlebars, still no flashers? Just at the location of the female flasher connector that exits the taped harness bundle there is a black/ white tracer wire that has a female spade connector attached, I cannot seem to find it on the wiring schematics, does anyone have any idea where or what it is used for? (some schematics for later bikes indicate a 3 wire flasher connection? however only two wires appear on the 82 diagram)
Any help for the tinkering grandpa with his first bike is appreciated! will post a pic of the project, tis a bit embarrassing as all your bikes I have seen look so fine.
Thank you

Hi Mr. wworthylake,

The stock flasher unit on these bikes want to see a specific load, 4 stock blinker bulbs, etc. If you've changed the bulbs or disconnected any, the flasher may not work properly. It's also possible that you have a bad flasher. Check my website for a flasher replacement guide and see if that helps. There is also a manual and wiring diagrams.

Anyway, I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
