Electrical/Charging Issue

[nsydyrhd]

I know the electircal/charging system is a known issue with xs650. I have an 80-81 XS650. I am looking for any suggestions on a systematic approach to tracking down the issue with the charging system. I would like to keep the bike as close to original as possible. Any suggestion on related threads or just helpful tips would be greatly appreciated.
