    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.

Wiring my '81 GS850GLX...ugh

i can really get balled up when it comes to wiring. it's not for lack of trying but it's always the low point of any maintenance, mod or rebuild for me. (well, wiring and most recently brakes too for some reason...but i digress.)

the resurrection of my 850 has been picking up steam which means i can't put off doing the wiring any more. i dread this based on experience.

so after laying out the harness in a general way, i started with the wires around the battery then worked my way to the ignition coils. some things went together easily, some not so much and i made a list of loose or unknown wires.

instead of posting my questions here, i just began reading posts that were interesting like 'where do these wires go.' eventually all my questions were answered without even asking and i learned new stuff too like the black sense wire on the honda r/r.

anyway...this is a long way to go to say 'thanks' to the gurus, sages, superstars, longtimers and others who spent a lot of their time answering my questions about wiring. i'm a long way from 'getting it' with electrics but hopefully i can try to follow directions and get my bike wired without the usual pain that goes with electrics. thanks again!
 
This forum has been around for a long time and is a great resource for finding answers to your questions as most questions have been asked many times over.

Searching also highlights the importance of wording your thread title correctly - IE: instead of just "help me" or "wiring question" you should always include the bike model and what the issue is in your thread title.
