    Oops I forgot where the wires go...

    The title is pretty much self explanatory... Anyways I tore my bike down to the frame and as I am reassembling it I have forgotten where some of the wires go beneath the side covers...

    To cut to the chase I was wondering if anyone (with the same or similar setup bike) could a take a picture of their wiring under their side frame covers so that I know where they go!!

    Yes I know it's a dumb mistake to not take accurate pictures before disassembly but I did take some but not enough unfortunately...

    P.S. my bike is an 1982 Suzuki GS300L with only 511 original miles... Still!!

    And how many non-original miles?

    That phrase has always intrigued me.


    Sorry, can't help much with the wiring, but a manual should have a routing diagram for you.
    If you have the components mounted in the bike, you can drape the harness in there and see how it falls between contacts with the various components.

      Haha it has 511 non-orginal miles too

      The routing diagram isn't much help really and its only a few wires in the rear on the bike that I have no clue where they go but I know that they have something to do with the turn signals cause their the only thing not working on the bike... well besides the motor currently lol

        Are you saying that you don't know how to route the harness or that you don't know what plugs in to the various connectors?

        If it's a matter of what to plug in, what are the wire colors in the connectors? That will be a big clue, as Suzuki used a rather standard color scheme for most of their bikes.

        Or, you could post some pictures for visual identification.

          No my wiring harness is routed correctly, I just have mainly these two wires that I don't know where they go but I know that they have to deal with the turn signals since they are the only electrical parts on the bike not functioning

            OK, I'll repeat the request.

            What color are the wires?

              Ones black with a white tracer and the other is a black wire with a smaller white tracer. They both have the round circle connectors on them, like the kind that you put bolts through.

                On mine, the black/white wires are grounds. Where are they on the bike?

                  Black wires with a white tracer (regardless of size) are ground wires.

                  Are they in the middle of the bike, near the battery, or at the back?

                  If they are in the middle, they need to be attached to a bolt in the frame to ground the wires.

                    They're new the middle of the bike near around the battery so I wasn't sure where they went but I'll try to ground them tomorrow, Thanks!!
