Bear with me, I'm absolutely new to the XS world. I was barely used to the dirt bikes I had.
I picked up '77 already on a weld on frame with a PMA kit installed. It would barely start and after some carb tweaking, I have it starting solid. I didn't get to talk to the PO much about it but the wiring is a mess. Only the tail and headlight work. Aside from it dying if I gas it too quick, my current issue is it dying when I put it into gear. After a month or two of creeping on the forum without being a member I came to the conclusion that it may be the side stand switch. But I'm not 100% sure if they were on the '77s. My question is where this switch is. I know what to do when I get ahold of it. Just need to know where it's at.
I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section. I know from past experience that forums are tight knit places with specific etiquette. Mods move me if you have to, I'm just looking for a hand. Thanks guys.
