Simplified wiring for a 79' GS1000E

[badfish]

I would like to know if anyone here has a link to simplified wiring diagrams for the 79' GS1000E. I found one that shows mostly what I plan on doing but it's for points ignition.

I have a Dyna-s ignition on mine and I'm not quite sure how that would get incorporated into the new wiring.

I'm also a bit confused as to what this is (what my finger is sitting on in the photo).

There is also another black box with some wires leading to it that looks like it mounts to the side of the battery box (right side). I'll get a photo of that if no one knows what I'm talking about.

Hi,

That looks like a rectifier you are touching.



The older bikes had separate regulator and rectifier units.

As for the little box on the right side of your battery box, that is the normal position for the turn signal flasher relay (circled) and auto-cancel unit.



You will find some simplified wiring diagrams on my little website that you might be able to use as a template.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Just how "simplified" do you want?

What are you planning on doing?

The GSR collective is somewhat omniscient, we are not (yet) clairvoyant.

Give us a clue what you want to do, we can give you some rather specific suggestions.

What I want to do is run a key, run/stop/start switch, headlight with hi/lo and tail light with brake. And obviously the charging system. I rewired my XS650 a few years ago like this.

BassCliff, if you look at my photo, isn't that the flasher unit to the left of my reg/rec above the starter relay?

Here is a better shot of the left side

And here is the black box on the right side of the battery tray. It seems to plug into the main harness.

The item at the top left is the flasher relay while the two deals with the fins are your R/R in separate pieces; can't tell what the other box would be though.

Hi,

There are wiring diagrams, cable location diagrams, and component locations in the manual. Granted, after 30 years some things get moved around by successive owners. But the manual is usually a good place to start.

Hi,

I happen to have just gotten a harness for my 1000C with the stock regulator and rectifer in place.Yours looks to be a regulator/rectifier with the old rectifer still in place
