Was riding my 78 xs today and bike was running great, had been riding about half an hour when I pulled up to a stoplight and the bike just died. Went to start it and nothing, absolutely no response from the electrical system. Got it to start up twice with the kick start, but it immediately died both times. The battery appears to be good as new and fully charged, the fuse is intact, and I am stumped. I am no electrical wiz but it seems like I should be getting power to somewhere... right? Headlight, blinkers, tail light, brake lights, horn, no response from anything.
I recently replaced the left handlebar switch, but other than that nothing is new. If anyone can help, I just need to know where to start and would greatly appreciate it. I am terrible with electrical stuff but I have a voltmeter and am willing to learn, just dumb it down for me a little .
