;) ;D ;D  Please tell me your are having a laugh now,?  What Cities where people only ever cross the roads where you have junctions,

I did a Bing search for "cities with jay walking laws".  Try it.

People get ticketed and fined for such in some places.

Common to have jaywalking laws in place.  Less common for actual enforcement action.

Anyway, it is a Japanese bike made by Japanese engineers and businessmen.  You know, Japan where orderly is a way of life.   :)

 The one on my 76SS was good as a voltage checker. it would get weak if I'd been in town lugging it too much and the voltage was starting to drop.
 The one on my GL1000 beeps when at peak voltage, then after a few beeps it amplifies the click click, click click, of the blinker.  It wants to be a speaker when it grows up.

Is this what the third wire is for down by the flasher/winker ? i replaced my flasher today and there was a green wire just hanging there as it was only a 2 wire flasher. Everything works good now but what is the green wire for ?? It does nothing when I hook it up. I have a feeling it was for the buzzer but looking at those wires they have already been cut ??

The green wire you are asking about is a spare ground in case you bought a 3 wire flasher, it isn't necessary though.

The buzzer is very 'of its time',  it makes me smile. I'll leave mine on.

Yes, I like it too.  So easy to turn off if you dont want to hear it.

My K2 got a buzzer for my safety.
I have lost count of how many times I have forgotten blinkers on that makes cars enter the road just in front of me.

It is a little bit disturbing when waiting for the green light. Other car drivers hear it and wonder. The left hand control has a buzzer off button while pressed.

The buzzer off was my first thing on my K6 when I had bought it.

Check if I have forgotten the blinkers on take focus off the traffic for  a few sec which is a safety thing too. ;D
