    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.

I seem to have lost my mate....

Hey guys,
I'm in the process of rebuilding my 1977 400 that I got over the summer. Look for my other post. Any who.... I'm currently working on the wiring up my bike, blind as I have no resources to do it, and I came across this female end conection:

It sits under the gas tank and appears to go nowhere. What I am wondering is where does it go? Is it important? Will it make me coffee? Any insight would be nice.

Thanks guys.

Ah damn if those wire colors and connector don't look familiar. I remember pulling that connector apart on my wire harness but can't remember exactly what it went to. If no one chimes in I'll post what it is when I get home
 
Hey, Thanks Ironriot. I really apperciate it. Would you happen to have a wiring diagram that you could email to me?
 
Not sure but it looks alot like my Regulator/Rectifier connector.
 
I'm not 100% sure..
But i have a gs400, and will check for you.

I'm thinking it may be your ignition.
I will check though.. if you don't hear back from me here, pm me

I also have a manual
 
It doesn't connect to anything. I noticed it on my 400 last week when I had the tank off. I've had the 400 since new so I know it hasn't been messed with. The wiring diagram also shows those wires going to a connector that isn't connected to anything.

The yellow/red wire comes from a connector by the guages but isn't connected to anything there either.
The green/red wire comes from the same connector by the guages - also not connected to anything on that end.
The black/white wire comes from ground. It's also the ground route for the taillight, horn, and headlight.
The orange wire comes from ignition switch and gets power when the key is ON. It also goes to the brake light switches, horn, and kill switch.

I scanned the wiring diagram from the factory shop manual. PM me if you want it. It's about 1 MB.
