Currently rewiring GS1100, had some questions

[FlordiaMan]

Im rewring my 1982 GS1100 and wanted to ask a few question.
All the wires in the harness are old and dirty, and im fairly sure a few are burning through. Does anyone have a wire diagram of the 82 GS1100GLZ, or atleast a simplified one. All the ones i see online are so convaluted and seem way more complex than the actual wiring harness itself.
Also, i have quite a few odd wire connectors just hanging around and have no idea what half of them were suppose to be for. For instance, there is a switch on the back left of the bike, above the half shaft case that has no connections and no explanations. It has three positions and three connections. No idea what it was meant for but it looks stock.

Did you try BikeCliffs Website (link in my sig) for manuals and wiring diagrams? Yes, some don’t enlarge well and may appear a bit fuzzy, some of the scans are better than others. As for the other thing, pictures of this mystery switch would help.

Can you get a picture or three of that switch? Or at least give the colors of the wires that might be around it?

For ease of wiring, I have found one of the 850 diagrams on BassCliff's site to be wonderfully enhanced. It will not contain everything that is on your '82 1100 (side stand switch is one), but the colors of the wires are SO much easier to read, I use it for pretty much any GS I am working on. Fortunately, Suzuki used the same colors for the same functions through the years.

Here is a link to the diagram: -> http://www.dslextreme.com/users/bike..._color-new.png

Sorry with the late reply, my camera on my phone broke a few days ago, so im not really able to get any pictures. I can tell you though that the side of the switch has a part number R13-61D and that it has the positions ON-OFF-ON on the side. Other than that not sure

There were no such switches on any Suzuki GS.

Too bad. Like a good mystery.

That

R13-61D switch is just a standard power switch. Someone probably wired in a hidden killswitch at some point, and then someone else didn't like it and uninstalled the wiring without removing the switch.

............. the switch has a part number R13-61D and that it has the positions ON-OFF-ON on the side. Other than that not sure

Quick search finds this. Yah, nonstock, common swtich someone got from autoparts store or something, and added for who-knows-what.

All the schematics make more sense if realize that what they are trying to do is show all the devices around the outside, stuff in front of bike on the left, stuff on back of bike on the right, other stuff on top and bottom. And all the lines in the middle is the main wiring harness.

Yea thats it exactly. Its so weird cause the way its welded into the frame it looks stock
