    It's probably the main fuse, the one that connects to battery and is "hot" all the time. The other fuses aren't "hot" till ignition is on. Without the main fuse,charging current can't get to battery, but the ignition would not turn on either ( unless someone as fiddled with stock setup)

      Greeetings and Salutations!!

      Hi Mr. newtogs,

      Here's a picture under the left sidecover of my 1980 GS850GT.



      You see the top fuse is for the headlight, second is for signals, third is for ignition, and the fourth is the main fuse. The very bottom fuse can be used for an auxiliary power source. I'm not using it on my bike.

      Anyway, let me dump a TON if information on you and share some GS lovin'.

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

      If there's anything you'd like to know about the Suzuki GS model bikes, and most others actually, you've come to the right place. There's a lot of knowledge and experience here in the community. Come on in and let me say "HOoooowwwDY!"....

      Here is your very own magical, mystical, mythical, mind-expanding "mega-welcome". Please take notice of the "Top 10 Common Issues", "Top 15 Tips For GS Happiness", the Carb Rebuild Series, and the Stator Papers. All of these tasks must be addressed in order to have a safe, reliable machine. Now let me roll out the welcome mat for you...



      Please click here for your mega-welcome, chock full of tips, suggestions, links to vendors, and other information. Then feel free to visit my little BikeCliff website where I've been collecting the wisdom of this generous community. Don't forget, we like pictures! Not you, your bike!

      Thanks for joining us. Keep us informed.

      Thank you for your indulgence,

      BassCliff
