I have an 81 xs650 and in the fall it was being difficult and the headlight would not always turn on. After it completely died on the highway I took it to my mechanic and he said that it was the voltage regulator. I've looked at most of threads on here about replacing the rec/voltage reg, but those post are from 2010 and the parts numbers they used are not coming up on advance auto or napa. Just wondering if anyone could help me out with exactly what parts i need. From what i got from reading the threads was that i do not need the nylon screws since it is a model later than 1980, is this correct? Any help/diagrams would be very helpful i have done mechanical work before but this will be my first electrical.
