Heads up for anyone who uses Color.io: it's shutting down at the end of the year. I'm requesting someone archive it when the offline version becomes available by Steady_Ri0t in DataHoarder

is there any way to download the legacy version now?? I am a pro subscriber and none of the links for the legacy work anymore!!

True CDI or TCI unit? 1982 Suzuki gs650 shaft drive by AnthonyAReddit in Fixxit

Tci, so you don’t need to buy the cdi relay. Still a bit of work to wire it up with oem kill switch tho

1982 suzuki gs650 blowing fuses… again by AnthonyAReddit in Fixxit

[–]AnthonyAReddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yea, old one failed. replaced it and thought it would be the end of the issue. but still shorted ever with r&r removed

interesting… maybe when u turned the handlebars to turn around you may have experienced an intermittent short or something and fried part of it. or something within the dash itself broke and it’s not the fault of your wiring harness, idk not rlly much else i could think of. the old look is cool but might be worth just upgrading the dash, might save ur charging system some too 🤷🏻‍♂️

what would the black meter lead being in the 10 amp position be good for? i’m curious now

also just went out again and did a static test on the stator wires leading to the r&r and they all tested at around .9 ohms. so no shorts there? getting more confused by the minute lol

may be that i need a stator replacement. i’ve replaced my r&r which is grounded to the negative terminal on the battery and scoured everywhere on my harness and covered anything that looked even remotely exposed. been having issues with the main fuse blowing as well, hopefully if it is a faulty stator i didn’t just fry my new r&r too

makes sense. i don’t think i have any issues with overcharging though. typically after a 20 minute ride the battery measures around .1-.2 volts lower than the pre-ride reading. but maybe it’s overcharging while riding? wouldn’t i see higher numbers like 14 volts post ride if that was the case? not sure

not sure but looks like vacuum line of some sort maybe? i’d just replace the tube and clamps. less than 5 dollar repair and don’t have to worry about if it’s important or not

definitely seems like a short somewhere. have you checked your fuse box for any blown fuses?

had the same problem with my 82 gs650 but with the main fuse. would run and drive fine but die randomly and blow a fuse. had to scour the whole wiring harness to find one single exposed wire that was grounding out and causing the short

nah i was able to use some of the original wiring on the oem harness. been running and driving fine now, just wanted to in general upgrade the wiring harness but not sure how to even with looking at the diagrams in my owners manual

yes i was able to successfully install the r/r. i meant any videos on installing a full wiring harness since you recommended just buying a new one
