Welcome. You will need to do some searching for the VR115 diagram. I haven't swapped mine yet :-(

I'm not familiar with the XS400. If you post a wiring diagram, that you are trying to mate the VR-115 with, I might be able to help.

My bad when i got home from work I went to the shop and slit the cover on the alt wire. Turned out what I thought was a brown was black. Thanks for the welcome . Got spark to plugs last night.

On the XS400 it uses a field coil. From a quick look on the diagrams at XS400.com the wires from the field coil are green and brown.
These are the wires to hook to the new regulator. Just follow the XS650 diagrams.
There should be three white wires that hook to the rectifier.
The yellow is part of the e-start cut out circuit. The blue wire is for the neutral light.
