    Unknown wire 1981 GS 1000G

    I just got 1981 GS1000G (ie the shaft drive version). Was changing the spark plugs and noticed this random wire hanging loose with no obvious place to connect it. It's right above the transmission, behind the cylinders. Green wire with a yellow stripe and a female spade connector (the first pic below). Any one have any idea what it is for?

    The bike has a "dyna miniature 3 ohm" ignition unit so maybe this is a wire from the previous ignition system which I assume used points? Another thing that occurs to me is that the turn signals don't auto-cancel so maybe this wire has something to do with that? thanks in advance for any help!

    That's your oil pressure sensor wire.
    It connects to the protruding pin.
    Looking at the clutch boot, it came off while working on the clutch ?

      I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
