    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.

Can someone please help me with this confusion?

Here is the switch that is on my bike, I broke it yesterday, is it correct for 1980?



What year and model is this on off of?



If I could get the right wiring diagrams, maybe it would be possible to put end from the switch that was on my bike and wire it to the handlebar end of the one I got ahold of? Or would it not work..
 
No reason why you can't wire up the old one to your new handlebar switch, horn wire goes to horn, indicators to indicator and lights to lights :)

a quick search for wiring diagrams will get you there.

Exactly, I just need to know what the bottom switch is off of so I can find the right wiring diagram.
 
It looks similar to mine but I cannot tell you it's the same without looking at the wiring diagram to compare your connector. Take a look at the connector in the 550 diagram and compare.
 
The switch with the square button is the correct part for your bike. They are readily available on the used market, and not crazy difficult to get inside either. Several threads in the archives on how to rebuild them. I'd use the proper switch. It provides momentary contact to start the flasher, unlike the older style switch which used constant contact. Not sure the TSCU would function with the older type switch.

Thanks Nessism, looks like I should just get the right switch then. If I could find a thread on how to put one back together that would be great, not sure where that thread is buried. If I can't find anything. I might have to buy one.
 
Second one looks exactly like one on my son's 79 850. terrylee
