Sorting the wiring to the ignition key.

[Dave J]

Good afternoon, all:

I'm a new member, a long time rider [VFR750F and a GS550 cafe bike are currently my other bikes] and I've found myself a 1984 R100RS as a retirement present. It came with a non-functioning ignition switch, and I need some help sorting the tabs to my new switch to the wires. Here are the pictures - I'd appreciate any help you could give.

I'm currently dividing my time between the Penticton area in BC's South Okanagan and the Edmonton area where we still have our "real" home - I'd appreciate hearing from anybody in the Penticton/Kelowna area, as the Beemer is here, and this is where I'll be doing most of my riding.

Thanks for the help,
Dave Jorgensen

...and here's the ignition wiring that's waiting for the switch.

Thanks,

Haynes and the BMW CD diagrams sort of agree:

- 30 -- red wire
- 58 -- gray wire
- 15 -- green wire
- 56 -- green/white wire (CD says another green wire)

Thank you, Kurt. I appreciate the help.
