    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.

handbrake connection

I have a 1981 gs750. My handbrake doesnt light up. I bought a new sensor. Still no light. So, I found the G/R (green/red) wire that powers that function under the gas tank (according to my Clymers manual)
Coming from the rear of the bike, the G/R wire dead ends into a lil white plastic junction box along with 5 other wires directly under the gas tank. The other 5 wires continue thru the lil white box toward the headlamp, but the G/R wire does not. The sensor i bought has a White with Black stripe wire and an orange wire.
Where do these go?? Which of the two sensor wires should connect to the G/R wire?? And how do i connect them when G/R wire is mounted in this lil white box and my sensor wires have those crimp on male ends??
Any advice would be awesome, as i need to have this bike inspected asap and she wont pass unless i fix this.
...... thanks
 
The brake switch is under the brake lever. Follow the wires from there. The switch wires shorted together should turn on the light. You should find your factory manual on basscliff's site for download. It should have a wiring diagram. I don't know that I would trust Clymers to be perfectly accurate. http://members.dslextreme.com/users/bikecliff/
