    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 bought this GS1100G as a non-runner with no headlamp or brake switch ....they seemed to have been cut with pliers .. for no apparent reason.

When I bought the bike I cannot recall if both the turn signals worked

but after taking the headlamp cowl off and reconnecting the obvious connectors.. now I find that all turn signals light up on the ignition switch(very dimly)............... the if I test them... right flashes fine, while left is unchanged (still dim ).... if I try left is goes out......


there is a but....... seems my LH controller looks like this (identical to the one on my GN 250... photo to follow)
 
PO of my bike had cut the turn signal wires off because he was going to turn the bike into a chopper, maybe your PO was going to do the same.

Anyway, my turn signals didn't work at all until I went about cleaning up all the plugs and bullet connectors, so you might give that a shot.
 
bad ground yep was thinking that maybe .... oh yeh forgot to mention when I unplug the LH controller the dim stops, but the indicators still play up
 
Fixed it!!

Fixed it!!

Turns out I never paid enough attention when I disconnected the terminals when pulled off the old headlamp cowl, the front indicators seems to be a rear pair (I think as they have 2 wires, black and gray) and before I was hooking up both wires as it seemed the obvious thing to do. Sorted now! fixed by only using the black and forgetting about the grey and it is gounded by a ring terminal...... Headlamp has now power next, onwards and upwards with the multi meter :o
