Waiting for my mask and cut off wheels to come in tomorrow so I can trim the seat pan.

I tried to get in touch with a local upholstery place called American soft seats waiting on a reply, I went to the address after work and it brought me to a house... :-\

placed my order for 13" hagon shocks all black standard spring diameter, hopefully they shipped today the woman Christina said there was a chance they would! ;D ;D

The next thing I gotta get to would be the electrics, I had a couple bulbs blow out on me. But it also could be a bad switch. I tried to figure out the rectifier testing in the manual but it doesn't give an explanation that I understand or maybe I'm just over thinking it? I'll post some pics and if someone could take a look and point me in the right direction. That wid be great :

The wires still are easy to see the color at the plug! that's good. The rectifier part will only let power flow in one direction.The book should tell you to connect the red+ lead to one color wire and the black- lead to another wire on the rectifier plug:that way to connect them will give you continuity(flow) and at that point swap the pos+red & neg-black test leads on your tester w/ the same pair of wires and it will not have any continuity(connection),that's the way it works.Just follow the test the way the book says.

ok, thanks for the reply. that was somewhat how I was doing it, I put the red with the red then tried the other wires with the black needle coming from the multimeter but it stayed at 1 for them. im not sure if the setting I have my multi set to is for continuity because I don't have the wireless symbol that most other ones have.

When I have the red with red and touch any of the other wired with the black it stays at one when I reverse and put the black on the black wire and touch the other wires it reads between 1000-1200 across the top then about 680-780 accrossed the bottom. someone help me out lol I dunno if that's what I'm looking for or whattttt :0

I need you to take your meter apart, yes take the screws out of the back, pull it apart, and check the 2 fuses that are inside. There will likely be a 1 amp fuse and a 10 amp fuse. Also change the batteries. Then I will advise you of the proper procedure and what you are looking for.

The green one, haynes.

I'll check it out now and post pics in a few gotta sneak back in the basement with out Iryna noticing (wasn't supposed to do anything today)! : ;D



Don't have those fuses or a new 9volt I'll pick them up tomorrow. The fuse said 25ohm blah blah blah not sure what to buy and the other one doesn't look like it comes out.

Played around with the wiring some more, found a general location for most of the electronics trimmed wires and staggered some of the tie-ins/connections to try and slim it all down and get an idea of where to do it all when I finally build a completely new one later on.

Gotta figure out how to re-mount the mud guard so I'm not spraying my air filter

I'm feeling the chrome on the tank...

Those Haynes service manuals are difficult(at best) to understand unless you're British.I think you should get a Suzuki factory service manual(they are first-rate & possibly a used one on ebay),Clymer is ok too.

thanks, the explanations of things are non existent in this manual. it seems like they assume I know what im doing hahaha. ill have to check on the Clymer. I don't think Suzuki makes Yamaha manuals but ill give that a quick google search

oops :-[ ,sorry,I meant Yamaha service book.. my bad. There's nothing so nice as the factory service book imo & every once in a while you can get a deal on one off ebay.

I just looked on ebay under "SR500 book" and they have a red Clymer(not really the Best but ok)service manual for $10 0r best offer.

im gonna try and do it on my last break I just don't want it sitting in the printer for anyone to see. I like having a physical copy of things.
