Hello guys,
I am new to this page and most definitely new to the xs650. I got mine last week and have been reading forums as a ghost follower for a few days now. My first bike before this was a 2009 cbr600 and I never had to learn anything about the bike, it just ran.
I've been learning a lot the last few days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My main questions are
1. What is the best wiring harness for my model bike? I've seen some diagrams but it's honestly mind boggling looking at all the diagrams. It's very difficult to read them. Any advice on reading them would be amazing. I want to remove the stock harness and put in a new one.
2. Do I have to remove all parts off the motorcyle to rewire the harness? I've been looking up videos of people stripping their whole 650 but I can't find any really. That is something I want to learn how to do, to strip it down to just the frame.
3. My gas cap was stolen a few days ago and I read the 1979 special caps are not interchangeable, any ideas where I may find one on here?
I'm very eager to learn eveyrhing about the bike and want to customize it but first my goal is to get her running smoothly. Today I'll get some new fuses since the glass ones are old and worn, and I'll go from there. I lost power to my indicators, rear and back, so my guess is those old fuses. I'll post a picture of them when I get off work.
