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.

  • 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.

Lefthand switch problems

I have bought another switch of ebay to replace the one I had due to the it be broken when I bought my 86 GS850G
but it seems that the orange with a red line wire has been cut off for some reason and I am wondering where this must connect too as it seems there is know where on the switch it could go to so therefore it must have to plug in somewhere in the loom but where?

here are some pictures

Or with red.jpg
 
Looks to me like it should go to the switch L/R contact (blue/black) and goes from the connector back to the turn signal control module .
 
The only schematics I have are for an 80 GS850 so maybe a little different. Do the turn signals auto cancel?
 
In my recent replacement of the left switch with one of Yamaha's finest, I recall that red/orange lead was seperate from the plug and went into a bullet connector on the loom.
I'm not 100% on that, so take it with a pinch of salt whether it was the same as yours.
 
Mine was a mess of wrong colours, scotchlocks and wires doing nothing. Gave up trying to make sense of it. Started from scratch and ditched the auto cancel.
 
A rewire is on my list of things to do with my bike. When I changed my turn signals, they didn't flash. I had to upgrade my flasher unit and now I have no auto-cancel. I'm sure there are a bunch of wires or sections of wires I can clean up.

Maybe your right as I think my bike is not got the US wiring being that I bought it here in Germany
Also no I don't think my bike has self cancelling indicators

As far as I know all models of the 850 had self-cancelling indicators, but a PO might have replaced a defective s/c unit with a conventional one. I'd be surprised if the later EU-only models had dropped the self-cancelling.
