I'm coming to the end of 18 month build on my '81 xs650 project and I'm half way through the wiring.
I'm not running a starter or turn signals and trying to keep things as simple as possible.
Below is the wiring plan I've put together with a lot of help from diagrams on this site (thanks to everyone who has posted a diagram!).
My main concern is the black wire from the bushes. It's a later model bike with combined rectifier / regulator but there is a black, as opposed to a brown wire going from the brushes to the rectifier. (From what I can tell, the brush with the black wire is not grounded if that means anything). I've checked the old loom as much as is possible (it's a cut up mess!) and it seems it was connected to the brown wire going to the rectifier before, but I'm trying to get a better understanding before I complete the wiring and start it up. (I'm using a small, light Shorai 7amp Lithium Iron Phosphate battery. Fantastic thing - but if I short it - it's fried!)
(The battery, ECU and fuse box are held in a small enclosed tank under the seat)
Any other suggestions and constructive criticism would be really helpful!
Thanks
Brett
