Noob mistake: Wiring harness

[Guest]

So, I ignorantly started removing the old wiring harness on my bike, so as to install an unmolested one, and forgot to take pictures of what goes where. Does anybody have detailed pics of the connection points for the wiring harness on my bike?

Also, I seem to have a pigtail on the new harness that I can't find the male end for.



That's on the end closest to the headlight. There is a similar one that attaches near the coils, but I've already got that one hooked up. My bike previously had a Vetter fairing installed and there were a couple plugs on the harness that were disconnected and wrapped up. I just can't recall if this was one of them. Any ideas what it's supposed to attach to?

The piece you are holding in the picture should plug into the lead from your left handlebar control, lights turn signals horn etc.

I already have that one plugged into the lead from the left handlebar control. The piece I'm holding in the picture won't reach that far. It's at the headlight end of the harness, whereas the one for the left hand controls spots further back a bit, by the quotes for the horn. Our do I have the order wrong?

I'll see of I can put up a picture to better illustrate.

Here we go:



The white pigtail is plugged into the lead for the left hand controls. I'm still not sure where the black one goes.

If you are talking about 12 pin plugs and you have two of them then you have a wiring harness off a GS550. I suggest you plug everything in the way you think it should go and then test that everything works: headlights, blinkers, ign, starter, etc. If anything doesn't work then you would need to trace that item out following the color of the wires from the wiring diagram.

You ain't alone - I'm having the exact same problem. lol

Partshark.com is listing the 750 as having two 12-pin plugs as well.

Mine seems to look like the one they have in that link.

So close too! Mine was running when I got it, so there (hopefully) shouldn't be too much left for me to do.

That diagram from Partsshark is different than the one I have in the Genuine GS750 Parts Book that I have, but mine is for Australian models so may be different. Anyway I would say that you hook up the 12 pin connector that is the middle of the harness and leave the one up near the head light unplugged as it is probably a spare for running accessories or whatever.

Cool. I'll give that a try.

Thanks!

the flat wide plug looks like the connector that goes into the clocks on my katana

I believe that on the 1000G I just changed the wiring harness on, the plug from the tach/speedo was the same as the same as the left switch pod, but the left switch pod plugs were blue. Its been a few weeks though...
