so yesturday i started trying to figure out how to wire in my intergrated tailight that the previous owner installed. He also chopped up all the wireing.

for the tail light i had the 3 wire plug
then i had 1 brown
2 green
1 blue and 1 orange

the brown was consistanly getting 12v

the blue and orange would only get 5v when i would try and use the turn signals.(so the turn signals would not work)

the previous owner also deleted the front turn signals and just removed the wireing for them from the harness completely.

i accidently thought the brown wire was a ground and connected it to green and poped the first fuse so then i replaced it with another 15w fuse.

NOW I STARTED THE BIKE AND IT WAS RUNNING ROUGH! i shut it off and tried to start it again and the battery died!!?

so im thinking ill just order a gsxr r/r because thats probably the problem.

CAN YOU GUYS GIVE ME YOUR OPINIONS?

 

after i went back to the garage to check the battery voltage and it checked out at 12v, this is wat leads me to believe the r/r went boom

 

60 views and no one is able to give their opinion?

 

Search rectifier here and there are threads you can follow and you will be able to find out if it is your R/R or not.

 

wat about for the turn signal wireing does that seem right? or am i missing wires

 

Check this link for r/r concerns, then get back with any questions.

Sky Blue-right turn
Orange-left turn

Hope this helps, Ern

 

do each turn signal doesnt need individual ground?
or just ground the green wire? because i have 2 green wires

i connected them and the turns still dont work the PO cut the wires for the front turns would this allow them not to work?

 

anyone?

 

On my cbr, brown is the license plate supply, both greens are ground, blue and orange are the supply leads from the turn relay, i can't remember which color is left/right.

 

The grounds on the turn signals should be shared. the other ground could be for the license plate. You should check for continuity between the front and rear turn signals, that may show some of the patch work they tried to do to bypass the front turn signals. Usually, both front and rear share the same supply coming from the turn relay.
