Hello everyone,
I'm new to Gassers and to the forum as well. I haven't found any landing/welcome thread therefore I am welcoming everyone in this very thread.
I got myself the FSR450 off an auction and it turned out to be a "project" bike.

I need to put some blinkers and horn on it in order to get it plated in my place, but once I started to looking for an indicator / horn wiring i found some interesting things tugged behind the headlight

Some issues are trivial and others are not, I want you guys to quickly run you through the stuff that concerns me.
Starting from a trivial thing: what is a stock headlight bulb on the FSR? PO forced the H4 bulb into the headlight but it does not fit...
I found 3 loose connectors with no apparent function in the loom behind the headlight:

I also realized that killswitch is not connected at all (from the factory) and the ignition wires are soldered straight to pins:

Does it come from the factory like that?
Then I have an Accuwell multi-function display. Does it have any backup battery inside? I could not find any - it seems like a sealed non-serviceable device. It does not keep historic measurements: avg speed, rpm, max rpm etc. Everything goes back to default values on every single turn of ignition. Is it expected? I think it is not.
Then there are blinker/lights indicators which are not connected at all and their connectors are wrapped with a heat shrink. Looks like they were never connected (not surprising since bike never had indicators).

Any idea where to connect these?
I also noticed that the bike idles at 1900RPM which seems to be a bit high (regardless whether cold or hot).
Then I have a broken stator - there is no AC voltage on one of three coils (the other 2 generate 5-6VAC). The rectifier might be okay since it does try to produce 12VDC out of these 2 coils that still work. it is too weak to keep the battery charged but still better than unplugger rectifier. Unfortunately the workshop manual does not cover the stator removal at all. What tools beside the usual spanner set will I need to get it out?
There is also a rear blinker plug of a weird shape

Do you know the name of that connector or the place to get a matching one?
I am sorry if it is a bit chaotic, but it's 11PM and I had a pretty busy day today.
Should i split it into separate threads perhaps?
Cheers,
Greg
