I'm about to bid on a new set of left hand controls off a modern suzuki. I was looking at wiring diagrams and it doesn't seem that hard,` but then again, it's me and anything can go wrong. Has anyone attempted this before?

Oh and to add, this auto turn signal thing seems pretty worthless to me since I'm used to riding without it, so can I just cut this thing out of the loop completely? -
nice thing about wiring 12v.. you can wire it up and see if it works. if it does, well sweet. if it does not, you are out a fuse. i would think, unless you already have the wiring for the auto cancel, just don't wire it up
if you do.. why not? it's something you might get to like !

The only thing I'm worried about with the wiring diagram is that my GS controls have 7 wires coming out for just the turn signals alone. The new one just has three. other than that the horns, headlight, and clutch switch appear identical. I'm just worried about the differences in the turn signal control units. Wheres that thing located anyway?Last edited by Guest; 04-02-2008, 10:00 PM.Comment

Can you post the two wiring schematics you were looking at? If you can post yours and the one you want to get I may be able to help.Comment

Unfortunately I don't think I have the time to scan the clymers diagram... here's (a) suzuki sv diagram. Not sure what year, but I assume close enough to the other sv models
OK, didn't win.... this gives more time to research. There are definite similarities between the two.... it's really the weirdness of the GS switch that seems to overcomplicate.... with the Right, N, Center, N, and Left wiring combos. The SV by comparison is much simpler... R, L, or off (center on the GS)Last edited by Guest; 04-02-2008, 10:01 PM.Comment

wow.. if it's got seven wires, almost wonder if the front and rear are parallel and on the new ones they are assuming they are series..Comment

I saw an old post some time back on how to eliminate the auto canceling turn signal. I hate mine too! I won a bid on a set of controls for a Bandit 1200 about a month ago. Plan on doing a swap out someday. Just keep in mind that some of the newer bike dont have provisions for the mirror mount.Comment

Not sure what your new switch looks like, but here's the old post I started.

Thanks all. My mirror has its own mount so that's not a concern. Bruce thanks for your link.
I tried scanning my wiring diagram, lot harder than I thought it would be, but maybe this will help for comparison...
I tried typing this out 5 times but gave up because it doesnt make sense without the diagram. Essentially I think Right and Left trigger the countdown, where as the Ns are just the lights flashing while the control is counting down. I have no idea why C switch has a Y/R that goes to the control... why would the control need to know it's not on?
Is this as simple as just tying the Right N wires and Left N wires to the left and right of the new controls, or is there something much more at work here due to the turn signal control unit?Comment

Is there a problem with it? I have an extra auto turn signal box.

Hehe agreed!
No, there's no problem with it. Thanks though. I just like the look and feel of my sv or other modern suzi bikes better. I hate the turn signal switch. I always hit it too far the other way or not far enough. Maybe I'm grasping at straws here but I thought it might be a fun project. Of course, depending on the complexity, then it becomes very "unfun"Comment

That is so you can turn it off manually before the timer does its thing. 8-[Originally posted by J_C View Post

I see. Thanks Well that's good news...I think. If the timer is never triggered then I dont need to worry about the wires to turn the timer off, right?
Seems to me like it should be an easy case of just linking up a few wires.... namely those shared by Right and RN for the right signals, and those shared by left and LN for the left signals. According to Bruce's post, I think this might be able to be done, unless I'm missing something completely with the turn signal control unitComment
