Scroll down to post #7. It has some wiring diagrams, you want the next to last one. It will be for the SJ/SK models.
Notice the couplings all are different shapes, this will help you match the correct components and tell you if you have a SJ/SK harness in hand.
After you find it we can help you get it laid to the frame correctly.
Good luck.

Great! Thank you! I've got a manual to refer to as well. I spent last night laying everything out and getting organized. Any ideas on how to decode a vin# on this thing?
Other than to identify the year? No.
The "tech" tab on the tool bar contains a link to vin identification and other special threads if you haven't found it yet.

Ok, great. Just going over what I have and right off the bat I can tell I'm missing a fuse block, is this absolutely necessary? It might be cool to have fusible links? Is this a ridiculous thought? Where could I pick something like this up? Other than that I THINK I have everything else, starter solenoid, ignition module. I've got a harness for charging and for ign.. I'm currently studying my Haynes manual starting at the beginning. Who knew Yamaha began in 1887? That surprised me, what I didn't know was it was initially a reed company. Go figure?! Thanks for the response week!

Read post #2 and #3 and do the expansion for the full information...............Probably take a read or two to work out.
5V4 with the numbers starting 1001001 to, whatever, is the 83 Vin...........looking at the bike it looks to be an 83......82 had black chrome every where.

Welcome Griz. As for circuit protection they do have curcuit breakers for vehicals. Harley-Davidsons use them. At least my FX Shovelheads did. I'm using car fuses of the larger, not the micro, colored ones. Thanks for posting pics. Looks like a good base to start with.
I'm back. Done my homework on the vin. My motor matches the frame. So I have an 82' sj. Originally "new Yamaha black" . The harnesses that I have plug into a lot of the existing plugs. I'm missing an ignition switch. I did a quick search on the lowbrow website and found these universal switches. 
It only needs three wires, blue, brown, red. Guess I'd also need a bracket for this too? Any suggestions? Thoughts, feelings, insults?

Hi Griz,
I'd suggest that you'd do best replacing any missing parts with used XS650 parts rather than buying new generics that most likely won't work right.
I think your best source for such items is this list's classifieds section.
I feel that you'd better check the tires' build dates and then perhaps budget for new ones.
As for an insult, how could I? Betcha I've done stupider things than accept a free bike, eh?
