Just brought home an 81 Suzuki GS550L yesterday. No keys to be found anywhere so I went to the locksmith with the ignition today to have a set of keys made using the code on the housing. Hooked a battery up to it, turned the key and everything lit up like it should. Hit the start switch and nothing happened. When I pulled off the cover on the right side to try and track down why it wouldn´t turn over, I noticed some wires that had been cut. As far as I can tell, someone swiped the rectifier. Didn´t even bother unplugging it. Just snipped all the wires in one clean cut. First question, would cutting those wires make it not turn over when the start button is pressed? I´ve had other bikes and they would still at least turn over without a rectifier. Second question, what other years and models used the same rectifier? I´d be able to increase my odds of getting one if I know. Third and last question, is there a manual somewhere online that I can download?
