All wires CHOPPED???!!!

[igotcenter]

I just picked up an 82 GS850, looks like the motor was removed from the bike at some point, and someone decided to take the easy way instead of unclipping all the wires they chose to use side cutters.

I have most of it figured out so far but i am just struggling with the stator, R/R, harness conections

from the Stator i have:
RED
WHITE/RED stripe
WHITE/GREEN stripe

FRom the R/R I have:
3 YELLOW
1 RED
1 BLACK/WHITE stripe

and hanging from the harnes i have:
WHITE/RED stripe
WHITE/GREEN stripe
RED


if anyone has ANY information that could help "rectify" my situation
i would be eternaly greatfull.

Thanks,
Matt

Using whatever means you prefer, the three stator wires go to the three yellow wires on the R/R. It does not matter which wires match, as long as each yellow wire has a wire from the stator feeding it.

The red wire from the R/R goes to the battery PLUS terminal, the black wire with white stripe is usually connected to a ground point somewhere, but is best connected straight to the battery.

The wires hanging from the harness were evidently somewhere between the stator and R/R. Use them if you can, just make sure you have good connections from stator to R/R to battery.

I've got a color wiring diagram for the '82 GS850 I can send you. PM me with your e-mail address. It's about 2MB.

If you connect the red wire from the R/R directly to the battery, make sure to install an inline fuse.

It would be best to get the wiring diagram and hook it back stock.

Yeah, I guess I forgot about that little detail.

OK, since we are now hooking a fuse in line, my manual shows that it's a 15-amp fuse. \\/
