No the Accent only fits the GT380 & GT750. Also doesn't fit the GT550.
Three choices for the T500: Newtronics, Classic Suzuki Parts NL & Powerdynamo.

Re: electronic ignition gt750 Accent installation
Well, the Accent is ALMOST mounted. I found an English version of the instructions online and got everything on and plugged in UNTIL I got to page three, "connect the red positive cable of the ignition with the orange flashing the positive cable provider (switched +).
Guys, I don't even know what that means. Am I to create places to plug these two in? I tried to post a picture of my unit (not trying to be funny) but the picture is too big. Ifanyone can shed some light, feel free to let it shine.
Very frustrating to crawl under this oily monster and not be able to seal the deal.

Re: electronic ignition gt750
Put the pic into 'paint' and shrink it to 25%. Save it as a JPEG and it will be just a few K insead of several megs and much smaller too.
The instructions basically translate as ' put the cable described to the wire from the ignition switch' (that switches the power on when the key is turned, geddit?)

Think of how stupid the average person is, then realise that half of them are more stupid than that.

Re: electronic ignition gt750
GT750 wiring diagram is here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4743
Wiring color coding:
Red wire is hot all of the time. (connected to the battery +)
Orange wire is switched hot. Its hot only when the ignition is on. (connected to battery + when ignition is in the on position)
Found online Accent instructions for GT750: http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/19693241/8 ... 008)GB.pdf
They want you to connect the Accent 4-wire connector to the same connector the points assembly connected to.
The turn signal flasher has an orange wire that connects to an orange wire that is hot. The Accent red wire has 2 connectors.
Do the following:
1) disconnect the flasher orange wire
2) connect the Accent red wire to the orange wire that is hot
3) connect the flasher orange wire to Accent red wire
Suggest you post the pic if you are still unsure.

Re: electronic ignition gt750
Thanks to everyone for the help. Wiring has always been a source of frustration for me. I have a brother-in-law that is magic. I sent him the instructions and he told me which wire to use over the phone. The male connector didn't fit too well because of the size of the connection at the twist, but a slight bit of modification and all is plugged in as it should be. Spent 30 seconds setting everything and OILY1 fired right up.
Another thousand or so, and it will be ready for paint. This thing is ugly; paint faded, side covers flaking away, and I still can't stop and put gas in it without someone walking over and asking questions about it. I love my Bandits (picked up another 1200) but my GT is truly unique.
Oh, and thanks on the photo tip. I guess any form of electronics is beyond me.
Keep the Faith.
