    77 gs750 electrical problems

    hi, so i went for a ride today. about 30 minutes in and I took a break. hoped back on the bike to head out.... no power. turn key, nothing... left key on, run switch on and tried to kick start, nothing. towed bike home and started looking into things and this is where i am at.

    checked battery, good.
    checked wires on back of ignition switch. red wire has power. no power on brown, orange or grey. i followed the diagram and connected brown and grey and red and "amber" (orange). still no power to anything.

    this is where i stopped for the evening to do some research. to be completely honest, I dont know much about wiring on bikes. I have all the tools, diagrams and the will to learn.

    if someone could just point me in the right direction, that would be awesome!! I love my bike and i hate to see her down... I want to ride.... well and need to, its my transportation.

    Yes. I did look through many pages and tried a few searches for help before posting this, so please be kind. thank you in advance.

        Is it one of the tube type? If so, they can break under the cap where you can't see them. Use a test light or multimeter to verify it's good on both sides.

          So I checked the tube fuse. It was good, pretty bad connectors though. I cleaned up some wires, connecters and removed the ignition switch (I think it was going out anyway). I installed a cool chrome toggle switch and bam! She's alive!!!

          Thank you both for the suggestions. My bike is old and all original, so I'm sure I will be back haha.
