My GN250 rebuild

[richisells]

So i'm in the middle of building up the bike and am stuck on the wiring, my problem is originally i had two control lights for the indicators one left and one right but i want to go with a single light but have hit a wall with the wiring as if i wire all of the positive's for left and right indicator together and run this to the control light i get a short in the system as i take it it then runs power back to the opposite indicator which shouldn't be lit as they are all wired together? what would be the best fix here or have i missed something obvious? I hope i've explained this well enough!

edit: upon closer inspection of the wiring diagram would it be possible to run the control light off the indicator relay thus having only one positive feeding the control light?

You need to run diodes between the indicator and the dash light.
It's late and I cannot think but I don't think you can run the power to the warning light before the switch as it is a constant 12v to the switch, running a light to earth on that side of the circuit will just trip the relay.
So, take the signal to the light on the dash from the indicator side of the switch, with a diode in the circuit

If that makes sense

[richisells]

yes that's correct upon inspection of the electrics plan it is constant 12v before the switch, thanks for the diode tip it's exactly what i need (after googling what a diode is lol!) thanks again i'm off to search for diodes!! high school electrics don't get you far in reality!!, thanks again ducatilover

Cool little project, who you going to get to do the lvvc ? I am having issues with mine currently

[Jseward]

Oh try some flatter mx style bars it will make quite a difference

what is lvvc?? is that vehicle inspection in N.Z? i'm thinking mini Ape hangars but maybe flat bars would be cool and i wouldn't need to extend my cables as well.

Flat bars made a world of difference to the handling and general ride ability of my wife's GN. She sold it anyway but it was fun to ride.
