I'm new here, stumbled across this site after much searching around. I crashed my bike into a tree and mangled the headlight area, pinching off some wires, smashing the ignition switch, etc. I replaced the ignition and the starter motor turns, but the engine won't fire. I pulled the plugs and no spark. I spliced the wires back together that got pinched off, and I thought I did a good job, but apparently it isn't good enough. Does anyone have a link to a wiring diagram for this model bike, I've looked everywhere and can't find one? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you have power to the O/W wire at the kill swith. If it doesn't head to the headlight bucket. If it does go towards the harness under the tank where it splits into the coils.
Also check the ignition fuse.Last edited by chef1366; 10-25-2009, 01:17 AM.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.

"If it doesn't head to the headlight bucket. If it does go towards the harness under the tank where it splits into the coils."
I'm not following along with you here. Are you saying to make sure that it does not head towards the headlight? How would I check which way it goes?Comment

Find out where you don't have power to the O/W wire which is the power to the ingition. Start at the kill swith.1983 GS 1100E w/ 1230 kit, .340 lift Web Cams, Ape heavy duty valve springs, 83 1100 head with 1.5mm oversized SS intake valves, 1150 crank, Vance and Hines 1150 SuperHub, Star Racing high volume oil pump gears, 36mm carebs Dynojet stage 3 jet kit, Posplayr's SSPB, Progressive rear shocks and fork springs, Dyna 2000, Dynatek green coils and Vance & Hines 4-1 exhaust.
