project: junkyard cafe 650L

[nate4d]

got the bike free from a friend who owns a junkyard and it was the only one there that looked worth a ****, so i took it home. my dad wont let me store or do work at his house cuz he says i dont clean up so i have to deal with the rathole (there are actually rats) that is my girlfriends, mom's garage. soooooooo.... this is was i have to start with.


so far i have taken to front end down to just the tripple clamps and removed the tank, seat, fenders, plastics, looking to start rewiring things a bit. if anyone has a good diagram of this bike i would greatly appreciate it. i just have the harness hanging out of the front end no bars connected or anything but i left the clutch on the handbars cuz im pretty sure you have to hold the clutch to start these bikes. ill probably just pull those two wires and connect em so i can eliminate the need to start the bike with the clutch pulled in. i just need to know what wires to connect to start the bitch.

There are two wires running from the bottom of the handlebar clutch lever assembly. Cut back the insulation/wrap around them and see what colors they are. Those are the wires to splice together to start it.

you should be able to find those wires inside the headlamb housing and unplug the switch and plug the two wires together. Did that on my 79

First things first, you feel good working there?

I would put the work space in order as best I was allowed, getting rid of rats would be BIG. If you're OK working there, no surprise about your old man.

I do that on every Suzuki I've owned. I call it the clutch mod and hate having to pull the clutch in for every start.

thanx for the quick info guys. i snapped a picture of it real quick just a minute ago. its 100 degrees here (no kidding) so its a bit much to mess around outside right now. anyone know what wires may be a good idea to connect so i dont need a key for now? it never came with a key (stolen recovery) and i pulled the keyed ignition area off and found all the wires.

You should have 4 wires that came from the ignition switch. Connect them all together to turn the ignition on. If you still have the connector block (from the ignition switch) you can cut that off and connect the wires - then simply unplug it to turn the ignition "off".

Just a small point, but it may affect you when you're sourcing parts-that 650 isn't an "L" model as your thread title says, its a "G". There are many differences between the two models so you should take care to get the right parts.
