I have a 1980 XS650G that is damn near a finished product but is being held up by an electrical issue! I traced down a short to the connection between the reg/rec and the alternator. I can plug every connector on the bike into the harness and have 0 issues until I make that connection so I tested the positive brush brown wire on the alternator with the key on with a test light and got nothing. Any ideas? I think the alternator is grounded by the reg rec and I’m thinking the reg/rec is bad but I’d like to know for sure before spending 100$ on one. The brushes both look great and have lots of material left before the wear line.
