I MIGHT be able to help you out, I'm pretty my left controls are '07 GSXR 600 and it was hell trying to find a wiring diagram online. Pretty sure I have it printed out though in my shop I'll double check tomorrow when I'm there.
What colour of wires do you have coming out of the controls? I'll compare them to mine and do some digging. Or post a pic of them?
If you got some time to kill though just image search with keywords like k7 GSXR 600 2007 etc. Some of the wiring is transferable for say a '10 GSXR 750 or something too so getting the colours of the wires helps a lot when narrowing down a diagram...

no i am not using an m-button. the controls are from a 07 gsxr 600, and the bike is a 77 cb750k. im making a harness from scratch, and am using led turn signals, nothing is stock. just trying to figure out what colors from the controls run what. i know the controls will be used to just switch the ground side, just dont know what colors are for what from the gsxr controls. if i cant get the flash to pass to work, i will try and just use it to switch through the motoscope mini screens.

I got my flash to pass working fine, all controls work as they should. A 9V batter and. Test light work wonders, that's how I wiring mine after sourcing what wires were which...
Another thing you can do is pull the controls off the bars and see what wires are going to which, that'll help sort most of them out, in junction with the 9v and test light...

this is the only thing i found close to what i am looking for. after taking both controls apart and testing some of the wires, here is what i have come up with. i was a little confused on the right side controls, not sure if i got it exactly right.

Left controls:
 Turn Signals:
LBl----------ground
Grn----------left input on m-unit
Blk----------right input on m-unit
 Horn:
Blk/Wht----------ground
Blk/Bl----------input on m-unit
 Lights:
O----------light input on m-unit
Wht----------ground
Y----------ground


Right Controls:
 Kill Switch:
O/Blk----------coils -
O/Wht----------ground
 Start:
Y/G----------start on m-unit
Y/Wht----------not used
O/R----------not used
O/Wht----------ground
 Brake switch:
Blk/R----------input m-unit
Blk/Bl----------ground

yeah i was confused on the right side wires, not sure if all had to be used. i knew some of the wires were main wires, just couldnt wrap my head around what is what without a real diagram. i have the right side apart still. i didnt take the time to sit down and go through the wires on it yet. so im assuming one of the wires should be grounded, then another to the input side of the m-unit, and more than likely the others will be grounds.

updated my post from earlier, will try and mess with the controls and test the wires in a bit. hope i get it figured out soon, i want to wire the bike already. would have been much easier to just have gotten the motogadget switches, but i like the look of the gsxr ones.

After testing the wires with a multi-meter, this is what i have come up with. not sure if the kill switch will work cutting out the ground for the coils or not, but i will give it a try.

yes that is what i was intending to do with the kill switch. i was unaware i could run it through the m-unit and use it as a kill switch. maybe i should have looked at the m-unit diagram too. the O/Wht is spliced into the contact portion of the start switch when depressed. the O/Wht and Y/G are essentially a complete circuit when the start button is pressed. im using 16AWG wire as thats all napa had available in colored wire at the time, probably overkill for everything.

ok i think i get what you are saying, to run the O/Wht from the kill switch to the AUX port, and the O/Blk from the kill switch to power the coils. since the O/Wht is spliced to the O/Wht of the start switch when pressed, i would need to take that splice out then, and run a separate wire off of the O/Wht of the start button to ground, and the Y/G to the start input making it just a momentary switch to ground? essentially separating that splice as it was originally intended to switch power as one. i have seen that AUX plug, can i not use the brake output for the tailight? im running an led strip, i thought the m-unit has a function to run it as a brake, and running light?
