Wiring turn signals to be manual signals

[justanother54321]

I have a 79 gs850 that little auto cancel box is a POS. I'm not interested in having it on my bike.

So I need to figure out how to wire it up to be a manual operation signal. I'll work out getting a manual signal switch later and I already have a 3 prong electronic flasher.

I have the color schematic for my bike thanks to BassCliff's website. However, that little black box makes deciphering what wires really do what a bit tricky.

Can someone tell me how I wire the flasher to the turn signals?

Sorry for being electrically ignorant, I just got my bike running a few days ago after over a year of working on it (my very first motorcycle) and just want to rig the signals up real quick as I don't own any other means of transportation.

As always any advice is much appreciated.

I have not had to do this little mod, so I can't give you any details, but I just wanted to let you know that a 3-prong flasher may not be the answer to your problem, or is more than likely not even be necessary.

Yes, the stock flasher is a 3-prong, but it is NOT wired the same as other commercially-available 3-prong flashers. Most of the people on this board that have talked about removing the self-cancelling box have also mentioned using a 2-prong flasher.

Basically, if you are going to remove the self-canceler, you need to follow the wiring diagram, find the wire that goes to the flasher and the one that goes from the flasher to the turn signal switch. If I was at home, I could give you wire colors. At any rate, they will be two adjacent terminals of the stock 3-prong flasher. Put your 2-prong flasher in those locations and enjoy turning them off yourself.

Just use a wiring diagram from an earlier model that did not have the flasher cancelling thingo. It should make it really obvious what you need to do.

The 79 vintage has 2 plugs on the TS module Cut the 4 wire plug off of the module, connect the green w green/black and connect the black with the red/black, then plug it back into the harness. Then you need to connect a two prong flasher in serries into the system-- orange wire from TS switch to fuse block. Then deal with the switch

Hi Mr. justanother54321,

There's lots of 850G lovin' on my little BikeCliff website. I even have a turn signal fix that might help you, in a PDF file called Turn Signal Relay Replacement.

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

Great.

Thanks for all the info.
