More melted wires/connectors

[Nessism]

Hi guys, l have a 82 Gs850g in Australia and I am in the process of fixing my wiring loom as l too have found the green plug behind the headlight melted together. My question is I have the on/ off switch headlight switch on my model what do l do. Thanks in advance.

Get a SH775 Series type R/R too. It helps protect the stator from overheat damage.

Thanks, l have been looking for them, though seem impossible to get them in Australia and the postage from the States is more than the R/R. Also do you know if I need any of the 4 wires that go to the green plug behind the headlight or just leave it unplugged. Thanks again.

Disregard that last comment, of course I need to plug the green plug back together it is ignition switch. Bike is sending me loopy

Is it only 2 wire that go to the headlight from the stator?

[Brendan W]

Strictly speaking it's only one but then it doubles back so two if you like.

This is how to wire the R/R, even if you don't use a SH775, although you should.

BTW, shipping to AU is $43 USD. A good used SH775 can be found for about $50 USD, or I have a couple that have been tested that I sell for $65.

Good luck

Exactly how I did mine.

If you still have a few, I'd be interested. I picked up a 81 650gl with a fried harness and looking to take precautions

I've got one left. Sent you a PM...

I have a 1979 GS750E and I’m replacing the stator and R/R. Does having a 1979 mean I can’t bypass the loop the the headlight?

Nope. Get a SH775 and wire like shown.

[BC_Rob]

Got it. I’ll wire like your post # 21 of this thread.
Thank you!

One more question :-)
Regarding the loop that goes to the headlight, should I connect the male and female bullet connectors by the fuse box to close the loop or just tape them off?

[Brendan W]

Best practice would be tape them up and hide them. They cause a lot of confusion when owners find them

I would be interested to purchase one for my GS650G. Do they come pre-wired?
