All fixed! Thanks, guys!

Ah ha! I just found a broken blue wire, barely inside the headlight assembly, that also tests just above 11v. I'm guessing this is the source that feeds the handle bar switch, as this would explain the other broken blue wire attached to my handlebar switch. I don't know why I didn't notice these...

Hmm, maybe I was wrong about that yellow wire going into the tach. Judging by this wiring diagram, the tach expects to receive current from that yellow wire, so it can light up the high beam indicator appropriately. But then where does the current originate? Every other loose wire I see comes...

The saga continues... I went out and bought a brand new battery this weekend, but it didn't help. Not that I really expected it to, but I definitely needed one anyway. Next I went around and cleaned every harness and connector I could find. I also replaced a few connectors that seemed...

Ah, I thought of that too. I actually bought a brand new bar switch assembly and installed it today. It didn't help though. That's when I discovered the issue with that main yellow wire.

Hey guys. A while back, I noticed that my headlight would turn off whenever I straightened my handlebars. When I turned them all the way to the right or the left, my headlight would come back on again. I figured I must have a loose connection somewhere, so I pulled the headlight out of the...

Awesome, thanks for the additional info! I guess the answer is that I need a custom sprocket.

Hmm, I think I may have solved the mystery of the additional four holes in my current sprocket. From this thread: http://xs650temp.proboards.com/thread/11299 "It is almost impossible to use the XS650 sprocket for this project due to the six- hole mounting on the sprocket vs the four hole on the...

One thing that seems strange though, is that none of the rd400 or 650 sprockets I've seen online look anything like mine. There are four bolts on the outside of the sprocket, but in between those, there are another four holes with bolts that appear to only be accessible once the sprocket is...

I looked as best I could on both sides of the sprocket, but I couldn't find a number anywhere on it. I did confirm it's a 34T though.

I didn't see one, but I'm going to look again tomorrow.

Thanks for the help, guys!

Hey man, thanks for the reply. It definitely looks like four bolts:

Hey guys, I just bought a pretty heavily customized xs650 with an unknown set of wheels. I took it to a local shop to have them look it over, and they told me it was time for a new chain and sprockets, but I'm not sure what kind of wheels these are, so I don't know what kind of rear sprocket I...
