Fuse Box guide, 1982 GS650

[Tsommz]

Hey everyone, I have a little concern. Hopefully someone will have a quick answer. Thanks in advance. I own a 1982 GS650G. It's an awesome bike, in great condition, runs beautifully. I've only had the bike about 4 months and I've been doing some checking up on minor things on the bike. I noticed that the fuse box under the seat has five slots, but I only have 4 fuses. I'm short one. I don't have an owners manual and cant seem to find much online. I want to know what each slot is for and what size of fuse I need for each slot. Does anyone know a link to an online owners manual? Or a diagram of the fuse box? Or does anyone have the manual that could tell me what each slot is for and what sizes I should have. I'd really appreciate this. Thanks.

Hi Mr. Tsommz,

You'll find lots of GS lovin' on my website, including a full service manual. The top fuse is 15 amp and the rest should be 10 amp. (Edit: It seems I should have looked at your manual first. See Mr. Steve's post below for proper fuse placement.) That last one may be an auxiliary, check your manual to be sure. Let's get started.

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

On the GS1000 the aux fuse is the bottom one and the 15 A goes just above this. None of my bikes have a fuse in the aux spot.

I'm pretty sure on my ED the AUX is fused just not switched.

At one end of the fuse box there will be two screws that are your AUX terminals.

Starting at the other end:
LIGHTS - powers the headlight, tail light and instrument lights
SIGNALS - powers the turn signals, horn, brake lights and warning lights (neutral, low oil pressure, etc.)
IGNITION - powers the coils and the ignitor, also provides power for the starter button to trigger the starter solenoid
MAIN - before the engine is running, provides power to the entire bike. After engine is running, protects the battery from the regulator
AUX - provides power to one of the screw terminals next to it. The other screw is a ground.

The MAIN should be a 15-amp fuse, all the others should be 10-amp.

There's actually a clear cover that snaps over the fuse box, and it has everything labeled....it says the fuse amps, and what each fuse does.

I guess you're missing this part?
My 82 650g has one.....
