Went on a few miles of riding yesterday; so far so good. Carbs might need a bit of a tune to get there but it starts and runs.

Received new regulator/rectifier and it seems to have cured my issue for now. Hopefully goin to tinker more in the coming days and will report back with updates.

Went through the headlight 3 times and couldn't get anything different to happen. Ordered a new OEM regulator/rectifier to see if that cures the problem.

I will see if that helps.

Thank you

Red/yellow in to fuse and red/yellow out of fuse in box. Says HEADLIGHT or HEAD, IIRC.

Thanks for the advice, I do have a multimeter. The harness is only modified in the headlight bucket, the rest is stock outside of what I've done to it since. I'll admit there is a lot going on in the headlight bucket but whoever did the mods for the digital gauge seems like they did a decent...

Hello forum, I have a 1981 xs650 that has a somewhat modified wiring harness (stock gauges removed in place of a digital set-up by PO) and about a week ago it developed an odd problem. It has original fuse box (4 glass tubes) and when you turn the key on everything works great but as soon as...
