    Gs250 simple wiring harness

    2016-06-17-14-52-26-1747913393.jpg

    I found diagram on another forum. I believe it's for a gs450. I've got an 80 gs250t. Will this diagram work on my bike?

    Have you seen the diagrams from Basscliff...

      I've looked at the diagram there but I'm having a hard time figuring out what components i have to keep and which ones i can ditch. I just want the electrical components i need to run and charge the bike plus a head and tail light. Would the set up in this diagram work for my bike?

        I can't see your drawing-downloads too small but for what it's worth, your 250 has very similar wiring to the 450.
        The original wiring is already pretty simple and only has a single fuse... Does Your idea involve dropping the brakelight ? That's not a good idea, imo.... and turn signals? mmm maybe, but wear white gloves at night . Sitting at a busy intersection with your left arm out does not sound too good for taking advantage of a break in traffic-you'd have to be sitting there in Neutral... but no blinkers would be fine if you are out in the country, I guess.

          Ok well that's good news. No I'm planning on keeping the brake light. The diagram has the brake light switch in there as well. Sorry about the picture quality. I'm posting all this from my phone.

            there's a simplified diagram on BassCliff's site
            http://members.dslextreme.com/users/...-ends.html#A19 by Posplayer downloadable pdf version is there too. It's just to make a diagram easier to comprehend because roughly speaking, your stock harness is already very close to this....Still, You could start by copying it out without the stuff you don't want...

            you can compare it to the GSX250/400 diagram available as a PDF on Bass Cliff's

              Right on. Thanks for that link. I wish i still had the stock harness, but the PO cut it to pieces and destroyed a lot of the parts in the process. But oh well, i wanted to learn how to make my own harness, anyways.

                    Start by listing ALL the parts you want to keep. It gets more complicated than a lot of the `simplified' diagrams you see since the complexity adds up quickly if you want to have things like headlight switches, brake light switches, etc and it also depends on what the particular switches/controls are. My quick list from what you've described:

                    Charging:
                    - R/R
                    - Stator
                    - Battery

                    Ignition:
                    - Ignition switch/main power switch
                    - Fuse
                    - Signal Generator
                    - Ignitor
                    - Spark Plugs
                    - Coils

                    Starting:
                    - Kill Switch
                    - Starter Button
                    - Starter Relay
                    - Starter Motor

                    Lights:
                    - Headlight (On/off/hibeam or always on as in the diagram you pictured)
                    - Taillight
                    - Stop lamp
                    - Front brake switch
                    - Rear Brake switch

                    Indicators:
                    - Oil Pressure switch (you should at least have this one)
                    - Neutral switch


                    Then it's (kind of) a matter of just making sure everything has the correct paths to and from the battery. I draw all the `systems' separately first then combine them into one.
