Hello folks!
I just purshased a 1980 Yamaha xs 650 sg as a project bike. I have been looking for an xs for a while now and when the bike show up I pulled the trigger.It was cheap and add a tittle...
But I bought it being aware that the electric where screwed up and it was really badly maintain.(the previous owner was an Idiot)
SO... I checked every thing and a lot of wire look like they where cut and then put togheter in a hillbilly way.
1.head light does not work and wires have been cut.
2.front flasher's are inexistent and wires have been cut.
3.brake light does not light up when appliying front or rear brake(rear brake wires have been cut.Did not find the wire's of the front brake yet)
4.fuse box does not look stock and as 3 fuses in it.
5. I am not an electrician...
I have a clymer book tried to figure out what was happening there but i could figure anything out.
I will take photo's and post them if it can help.
The real question is will it be easyer for me to rewire everything or I should try to repare what does not work?
