Hey all, about a month ago I bought a ‘79 special that’s been chopped into a cafe racer that I knew was gonna be a little bit of work but I kinda jumped into the deep end with this one. Long story short; went out for a ride last week about 40 miles round trip(that’s as far as I got) when I tried to take off from a light and everything died. Figured it was the battery since the guy I bought it from said it had sat all winter and he couldn’t get it started. Bought a new battery and found out my main fuse was blown(go figure). Unplugged the headlight looking for bad connections also, put a new main fuse in and all my lights came back on. Plugged the headlight in and everything went dark again.
So I guess my question is, is this a problem with my headlight or a bad connection somewhere else along the wiring?
This is my first xs650 so i really have no idea where to start or what the problem even could be. Thanks in advance! Pic for attention
