OK so on my 1971 650 I was looking into adjusting the clutch return spring cause its sticking in the position i shift into, then i have to adjust it with my foot a little down, then it will shift again.
Anyways, I noticed my brake switch was not engaging when i put my foot down even really hard, so i looked at the switch and it had a wire loose. So after some soldering I got both wires back to the right spots. Here is where I get confused, I fixed the switch reinstalled it, and NOW I have NO electrical at all???? I turn the key and nothing. no lights, no neutral gear, and it wont kick over????I tried to charge the battery, even tried replacing the 20 amp fuse at the battery (at one point out of anger i even tried just straight power to the batt, still nothing), Please what else can i look at here. I am pretty electrical inclined but not on bikes, this and the 81 are my first bikes ever! Thanks for reading my pain killer induced rant, and I hope some one here can help! You guys always do!
Thanks in advance, Evol
