Connectors on my bike are very old and most of them are stuck.
These connectors are very hard to remove.
Looking for ideas/options, and where to get new connectors and how to install.
Also, should I replace old wires with new one?
if yes, where to get new wire with correct colors along with new connectors?
thanks.

Re: How to restore old connectors?
It won't be cheap, but Suzuki still do some wiring looms for old bikes. If you don't want to do it yourself.
If you do it yourself you must make sure your wire is not too corroded. If it is just blackened, you can solder the connectors but flux will be needed. You can buy most of the connector blocks or reuse your old blocks with new terminals. And you can buy japanese size bullet connectors with insulators

You're welcome. I haven't used them myself, since I live in the UK, so can't vouch for them. But it looks like they have at least some of the things you need to get started
