83 gs 450 owners manual

Is this online anywhere? did I overlook it at basscliff? Why does my 83 450 have no bright light switch? the list goes on and on. Any help appreciated.

The Clymer and Haynes on BassCliff's site should cover most things.

Also, check eBay seller eClassic Bike and he may have a reproduction factory one for your bike, his prices are good.

I have the clyner. Just can
t figure out why this bike has no switch for brights on the bars. First bike i've seen like this. Does this bike not have brights?

I don't know that bike in particular, but have you tried moving the turn signal selector up and down?

That's the way it is on many of the GS bikes. Maybe the lettering is worn off the handle?

This may not match your bike exactly, but should give you an idea what the label should look like.
Your bike will not have the Auto-Cancel feature, so ignore that particular word, but the rest should be good.

Thanks Steve, just re-read this and I think I completely mis-read the original question!

Yeah, indicator switch should push up for high beam...

Thanks Pete! That is exactly it. I must have looked at the page with a similar pick several times and just not had it register. The labeling on the housing is gone. This is my first Zook so The integrated switch didn't even popin my head.

Good stuff Gary, yeah mine's worn too although I don't have it on any more, I went for a newer left switch block for other reasons and I guess it was a common problem because the high beam switch is a separate button on it.
