    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 am reassembling my '82 GS1100 and have a few left over wires. When I turn key, lights function but it won't turn over. Here are the wire connectors that I have yet to figure out (it ran before disassembly). In the bucket I have these female bullet connectors which seemingly have no male counterpart:

Two brown wires with one female connector
One gray wire with one female connector
One black wire w/gray tracer with one female connector

Also, I had four black w/white tracer wires (3 coming our harness toward back and 1 from reg/rec. Am I correct to assume those can be grounded anywhere on the frame or motor?
 
When I arc the two posts on the starter solenoid, it will turn over. Don't want to start it yet because I have very little oil in it. I will buy oil and new filter before I turn it on. Just trying to figure out the wiring right now.

Look at the schematic
 
If I am reading the schematic correctly, then the connectors I am talking about are not support to connect to anything. But that's not good news. Now I have to figure out why my starter is not getting power.

Y/G comes from the start button that needs the Kill switch on. It also needs IGN on.
 
Try grounding a black/white wire to the solenoid mounting plate. It is mounted on rubber grommets and breaks the negative side of the pickup coil on the solenoid if removed.
