Need help wiring in new bar controls

[DrImodium]

Now that my bike is mechanically running alright, Im moving on to the little details. One project that has recently moved up the list is wiring new bar controls that I got from MikesXS.

LS control:
Fits: 1977-84 North American Model XS650's.

RS control:
Fits: 1976-78 North American Models and 1976-84 European model XS650's

My stock controls have become brittle and work 50/50, so now I have the task of wiring these XS650 controls to my 80 GS1000E. I started a thread a few months ago but I didnt have the correct wiring diagram for the XS switches.

XS650 diagram

GS1000 Wiring Diagram



Some of you have electrical know how; this is something that Im lacking right now. Ive tried drawing out the diagrams on printer paper using colors and everything to break it down function by function for each control so I could figure out the electrical path but Ive been trying to figure this out for the better part of 1.5hrs and the only wire I have connected is for the horn. PLEASE HELP ray:

For the XS harness, this is what my research has uncovered:

Dk green- Headlight hi beam
Lt green- Right turn signal
Yellow- Headlight low beam
Yellow/red- To turn signal canceler
Yellow/Black- reserve lighting unit(?)
Pink- Horn
Blue/Green- reserve lighting unit
Blue/yellow -12v power for headlight switch
Brown- Left turn signal
Brown/white- 12v power
Black- Ground


For the GS harness, this is what I have:

Lt Blue- To turn signal relay
Yellow- Hedlight High beam
Yellow/white- Power to RS handle bar switch
White- Headlight low beam
Orange/Red- 12v Power
Black- Left turn signal
Black/White- Ground
Green- Horn
Lt Green- Right turn signal
Lt Green/Black- To turn signal control unit.
Brown/Yellow-Canceling switch

Can you all double check I have the GS wires correct?

I would open the new switch and solder the old and proper colour wire for the GS into the switch and at the same time also reusing the multiplug.

Just remember that the flasher cancelling switch works differently, but you most likely know that, and the self cancelling part will not work.

Yes this. Suzuki's self-cancel switch has unique features that your new switch won't replicate.

I remember going through this exact conversion here about a year ago. I'm sure you can find it with a search

Sorry did not reply to your question.
Use a small table:
Write down all the colours of the wires on the Suzuki switch underneath each other. Now go to the schematic and identify those wires with a name and number and write that next to the wire colours on your table
Do another table for the Yamaha switch.

Now marry those tables i.e.

Suzuki Yamaha
Black/White = Ground Black = Ground

Once you have both done you may doubt one or two wires, then post the table and we will try and help you with those. It does take a bit of work even for someone who has done it many times before.

Edit: Jim beat me to it, posted while I was typing.

Lots of good info in that other thread. Imagine that...Search Feature turns up info.

Just to clarify...the self cancel switch has a feature such that when the turn signal thumb switch is pressed there is a momentary power signal sent to the TSCU. The switch is spring loaded and this signal is only sent while holding the thumb switch against the spring. These aftermarket switches won't function in the same way, thus no self cancel if that is important to you. The second generation self cancel turn signals are more forgiving to system faults than the first so this is no worry in terms of having functional turn signals. In fact, you don't even need the TSCU installed to have functional manual signals.
