Ok thanks.Brown /white carries power from flasher and powers switch! left and right sends flashed power then to left chocolate and right dark green. .Got it Leo and thank you.I can get back to wiring friday. Can't wait.

dark green powers brown and white in connector! My friggin multimeter wasn't making any continuity buzz sound earlier today..It is now..it wasn't working. I couldn't read crap!No wonder I was lost.. It always worked. I don't know why it stopped..It's working now.I was blaming the 40 year old...

With left switch held on, continuity with green outside...Blue/yellow in connector

pink has continuity with control casing...Horn must be fed 12 volts from another source.

Green..also continuity with Blue/yellow in connector.. So there my headlight..

I just found...blue/yellow has continuity with yellow!!! yes! One down.. Power that headlight up! (After grounding)

Thank you for taking the time. It's nice to read and imagine what powers what in word form.It helps me imagine where everything flows to and follow colors.I'm trying to bypass all the safety switch stuff. Just want it minimal to pass NY inspection.Headlight, tail, brake,blinkers and horn.

Light checker and safety relay Thank you.

I started taking it all apart so I can see what wire goes where. All the plastic connectors are there and look fine.What is the little box covered in rubber behind the battery box do?(not the rectifier underneath) It says Koito 12V 1 on it, in pic it's by the screwdriver and ball of black tape...

Thanks. I had the same question.

Thanks for the tips and advice on the air cleaners and such. I just got my other bike on the road today.1983 xs650. When I get time I will go back to figure out all the wiring and get the lights and horn ready for inspection on this new bike,fix the front brake and maybe get some ride time on...

I have read they need an air box or some kind of air filter to mix air/fuel right. It makes sense.Plus keep the road dust out of the engine is as important.I couldn't believe it is running even as good as it is with those straight pipes and nothing but a battery feeding coils. I like the look of...

I'm not a novice but far from being able to do it for a living.That would be a dream come true.It's cold here most the time,and probably why ya can still find an old fixer upper with low miles now and then cheap.Our riding season is pretty short.

Haha Fred. I'm wearing long johns anyway, there is no plummer crack in sight.. I did notice that my jeans are saggy.I was hoping people would focus on the bike. lol It's not an ethnic fashion statement or anything like that. Heyba Manba!!lol

Hey , She's running! Can ya believe it? haha Thank you. And it sounds like it has no issues with the internals.So far so good. With air filters and some fine tuning This baby will run great.It has 11000 on the clock. I'm so damn happy right now. Thanks again guys.I could not have got it running...

Excellent info. Thank you.

Nice. Thanks for the pics!

Thank you for replying XSLeo and 650Skull. You are both greatly appreciated. I would have answered earlier. I work many hours and just got home.The beauty of that is, I will have a few bucks for needed parts! I will check the points, follow wires to correct coils. ( Upper is right coil)...

I just bought this 1978 XS650.It looks like the guy had electrical troubles and got in too deep and gave up. The harness looks pretty factory. The wires are everywhere though.Especially headlight area. I see all the schematic posts you all have provided, thank you. After trying to identify all...
