    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.

Welcome to 2015 and Thanks for all the great info

Hi All

My name is Shaun and I have a 1983 GS850G.
I have been reading all the great posts on this forum for while now.
Topics far and wide - Front Fork Seal Replacement, Winker Issues, Paint Schemes, Seat Recovering, Carbuators and many others.

Thanks to all who post this important information.
As a way to express my gratitude I have redone to crappy wiring diagram that came with my owners manual.
I could not find one for my 1983 GS850GD, but the one for the 1982 GS850GZ for Canada.
My bike has two horns and this seems to be the only difference.
Anyway, I redid this wiring diagram in colour.

Just had it printed and laminated at Staples for $10 for an 11" X 17".

Have a great day.
Shaun

Send me an email if you require the high res version.

I like it. I think it would make a cool poster for the shop. Welcome to GSR sailexit. There's has to be a story behind your name...
 
Cool boat (I had to Google Hughes29) Perfect name for a sailboat too. Do you have any pictures of your sailboat, motorcycle or your 83 Oldsmobile? I always liked the Olds Cutlass... Or maybe post in the Owners section of the form. More people will see it there, and you won't make the forum police mad...

Greetings and Salutations Mr. SailEXIT,

Nice work on the diagram. If you'd care to email a hi-res version I'd like to store it on my little website. You'll find my email on my webpage (link in sig). Here's my standard welcome schpiel....

Let's get started. :)

Let me dump a TON of information on you and share some GS lovin'. :D

I just stopped by to welcome you to the forum in my own, special way.
