Hey guys, long time reader, first post. I could use a little help...
So I received a 1977 XS650 cafe racer style as a gift. Engine was zeroed out and works fine but the electrical was an old racing rig, and I've pulled it out to rewire it a bit less psycho It was already upgraded to TCI (or CDI depending on which thread you read...no points is what I'm saying...)
I'm using the simplified wiring diagram that you can find anywhere online (I'll include it below for reference.) The wires ALL match up to the color coding on the rec/reg, pickup coil, and ignition unit. BUT the diagram only has three white wires coming from the alt, and the cable running from MY alt has three extra wires...a green a dark green and a red I think? I know the old XS650 had some mad extra wiring that you don't need anymore...can I just cap these extra wires off and stick with the three white ones as per the diagram?
Thanks!!!
