Title: Need electrical help (upgrading turn signals) Post by Keifer on 03/21/21 at 12:24:21 Hi, I'm not very good with electrical diagrams, so looking for some advice here... I bought the push to cancel turn signal switch from a 1997, to replace the non-cancelling switch on my 1993.  Thought it would be plug and play since I avoided the pass feature... it's not ha. My bike is a Canadian 93, but the bike side harness connector matches the 1995 diagram.  Some kinda frankenstein, bike side is 95 but I have no cancel feature.  Anyway... The colours don't match each side of the connector. Bottom line, 93 bike has 8 wires in the connector, new 97 switch only has 6.  (not counting the two yellow/green for the clutch which are obvious). Anyone done this before?  Will it work if I attempt to match the colours as much as possible?   Seems the bike side will have an extra wire or two... (I've attached the two diagrams for reference).  Thanks!

I wonder if this is why the horn sucks on the newer bikes, because the horn power is supplying the headlight/running lights as well.

Bike Side>>Switch Orange>>Black/brown (horn) Gray>>Not required Yellow/white>>Not required Brown>>unused orginally The rest of the colours match.  Only downside is the horn is quieter after the mod.
