Yes, but he has a 72.
Yes, but Mart UK asked the question and my reply should have made it clear that it's 850 Mk3 only.

Here is my question- now that I have the LG/N wire going into the switch- shouldn't I have voltage to the turn signal wires coming out of switch? with noth wires unceccted, but switch in place and the LG/N connected to witch- It seems to me that I MUST then have juice to the signal wires.
So I need a new switch it seems.
You probably don't need to replace the switch. Where are you located? If near Northern VA, you can bring it by and I'll show you how to fix it. If not, you can send it to me and I'll fix it and send it back. PM or email me. marshg@gregmarsh.comyou understood correctly. So I need a new switch it seems. Thank you again for your on hte point quick responses to my questions.

If there's no power to either G/R or G/W when selected with the toggle lever then the fault would appear to be on the LG/N side of the switch.
Have you tried bypassing the complete switch assembly by connecting the harness LG/N (from the flasher relay) to the harness G/R and G/W wires in turn as the direction indicators should work to confirm it is the handlebar switch that's faulty?"
I have not. I have considered that the LG/N wire might have a fault in it under the grey tubing, and bypassing the switch as you suggested should confirm or deny that.. I will have time to check that today.
Greg- I'm in Se minnesota. If I confirm it is the switch, I'll certainly take you up on your generous offer.
1 & 2...... with LG/N wire hooked up to same wire going into turn signal I have nothing.
#3.... also no voltage. Nothing out of switch.
If I connect a wire from battery, to LG/N directly, then front turn signals flash in turn, but not rear.
However, a test light put into rear light sockets, does flash. But a bulb, even a simple taillight bulb, does not light. Which baffles me.... if current to socket is there , and flashes test light.... so should a inserted bulb.
You lost me. Step 1 is to see if you have 12 volts on the white wire at the flasher; if not, nothing else matters! If you have 12 volts on the white wire at the flasher, then you check the Light Green/Brown wire at the flasher. Without 12 volts there, nothing else matters! Don't even think about the switch unless 1, 2, and 3 are all good - the switch has nothing to do with those tests.1 & 2...... with LG/N wire hooked up to same wire going into turn signal I have nothing. #3.... also no voltage.

All looks clean so it must be, I'd think, a ground? But where. The ground to tail light is hooked up and brake/taillight work. I think it's now a double problem.... I'm mostly sure switch isn't working, but also a problem in real turns.... but that's just 1
wire back, and flashes is working. Any thoughts as to why?
OK, the flasher is bad. Disconnect the double white wire and the LG/N from the flasher and connect them together. With the ignition on and turn signal switch in the middle, no turn signal lights should light. Flip the turn signal to the left position and the left lights should light. Then to the right and the rights should light. If at least one light on each side lights, then the handlebar switch is good and the LG/N wires are good. Report back saying what works and what doesn't.Ok. When I test at the flasher, the double white wire is 12 volts. I have nothing on the LG/N.
Let's try again. Leave the wires connected to the flasher - I never said to disconnect it for the first two tests. Check the double white - you said you have 12 volts. Check the LG/N - you said you have 0 volts.If the LG/N is disconnected from flasher, and it's not hot, how can that mean flasher is bad? Esp when flasher clicks and flashes front signals? New flasher btw
