    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.

Fuse box not wired in on 79 gs550

When rewiring the fuseboxes and such after changing out the airbox, I noticed in pics I took before taking everything apart that there are two fuseboxes, one with 4 fuses, and then a separate one with a single fuse. It looks like there's only 1 wire to it, a red one, and it was not attached to anything and not plugged off. curious to what it is and how important it is, since I believe it has been like this for a few weeks (when I bought the bike), and the bike has been running fine and all the electrical seems good. the clymer guidebook did not show a diagram of any of that part under the right side panel in the Electrical chapter.
Perhaps a previous owner did some aftermarket stuff?

found a pic of it on ebay.

Interesting. looks like it was supposed to hook into the Starter Solenoid or something. In the meantime I'm looking up better diagrams

It's original. It's just an accessory fuse.
