    '82 XS650J headlight/relay problem

    Yes, Iʻm thinking I may need to take matters into my own hands. Im trying a new guy who is mobile, which is great. He seems good & was the one who bypassed the relay. He too suggested just bypass and add a switch but for some reason Iʻm thinking that there has got to be a way to repair. However...

    Mahalo for your response. I'm hoping there might be a way to use the existing system without modding the wiring. I wonder if others have had a similar problem and how they solved it. I wish the the PCB that the 2 relays are mounted on wasn't sealed with epoxy resin. Has anyone torn one of these...

    '82 XS650J headlight/relay problem

    Aloha to all! My headlight isn't working. Last thing I had done was to have a PMA from Mikes installed. Starts up great! I don't know if the headlight was working when I picked it up from the shop. Due to injury I haven't ridden in 1 year. On inspection, so many disconnected and cut wires...
