Wiring Diagram for the Watercooled

Good luck with that one. I await the outcome from when it all goes horribly wrong. The only wiring diagrams available are on the dealer MOSS systems. A bit of friendly advice - don't even go there cos it'll end in tears
 
Why so pessimistic? Some folks can read a wiring diagram. Others can't. Essential for fault finding and of course mods.

The operating protocol on the new bike is totally different to the previous bike. Inputs from the switch gear are via a linbus system which might not accept your changes. The insides of the switch gear has a ribbon type wiring circuit and the switches should not be taken apart. You will void your warranty and could get expensive if it goes wrong that's all
 
All the more need for wiring diagram !!!

Crack on fella

BMW are reluctant as each new model is launched to allow home tinkering

Can't blame them, really

Make then all main dealer service only to protect the brand & money that dealers have invested in training and factory diagnostic equipment

Who can blame BMW ?
 
You guys are off on a tangent and missing the point somewhat. Never mind.

Watch this space - will track one down.
 
Be sure to let us know WHEN it all goes wrong.:P:D

I think the Star Wars man has a far better idea than you

No tangents here

We remember the saga of the KTM 2 stroke which showed your abilities
 
Wiring diagram.........

I to was looking for a diagram when I got my 2013 GS, wanted to add an aux LED light to the top box. I found that the early twin cam wiring diagram has some similarities to the wiring in the 2013. I.e. the rear light wiring is colour coded the same as the TC bike.
There may be other 'same' coding associated with the general wiring...........:nenau
 
WindyChuffer, I think that this will be more complex than you think.

There are 8 wires from the left hand grip.

Heated grip.
2 wires- Brown and Black with 2 white stripes ( or could be white with a black stripe) these go to a 2 pin plug.

Wheel switch.
6 wires.
White red blue brown grey black. These go to a 6 pin plug

Brown is BM earth.

I guess that the wheel has multiple switches that connect a coloured wire to earth. 5 (?) switches, though I expected only 4 - rotate up / down & left / right.

I like your idea on making the wheel the indicator switch, however I feel that cutting the wire is the wrong way.

IF you can identify the wires in question that you need to cut and join! why not find the multi connection plug where the wires join the main wiring loom. The plugs can be taken apart, each wire removed from the plug and repositioned into the plug to make the connections that you require. Obviously some would have to remain not connected (ie taped up).

If when you sell the bike, the plug can be rebuilt back to original spec


Or

Find where the cable from the left hand switch gear goes under the tank.
Cut into it.
Identify the wheel wires. Cut and plug into a multplug, so the wires connection can remain as standard. Do the same for the indicator switch. Then make a bridge for connecting the wheel switch to the indicator lead. Tape up the unconnected plugs.

When you sell the bike, remove the bridge. So back to square one with just some extra plugs under the tank.

ALL CHANGE.

Just seen the insides of the switch.

6 wires from the wheelie thing into the switch
2 wires from heated grip pass straight though and connect onto a plug that goes from the handle bar onwards.

THREE wires leave the switch via a plug.

Also the two wire clusters running from the switch down the handle bar are plugged into the switch gear.

So you would have to butcher the switch insides to get the wheel to control the indicators. I don't think that there would be enough room within the switch to do this alteration.
IMHO it is a non starter.

Oh dear. Tell us more

Take your pick, judging by Windy's previous 'learning mechanics', he would be well advised to leave dismantling the new GSA WC switchgear well alone or leave it to someone who knows about it:D
