    Front turns signal troubles

    Just to let everyone know, the turn signals, both left and right, are now working (flashing). And the brake light, and headlight, and the horn, as well. Was a wrong color wire making a wrong connection in the headlight bucket chaos. My new multimeter (thx, Jim) was a godsend. This is fun when it...

    Front turns signal troubles

    Making progress. Left side indicators blink, so it looks like the old flasher relay works.Right side lights don’t come on. Plus, on low beam, “lights off” switch doesn’t work (it does with high beam), and the little square “turn” light at the top of the instrument cluster comes on. It doesn’t...

    Front turns signal troubles

    Thanks Jim and grizld1 for looking into this. Let me know what you find.I’m in the market for a good, basic multimeter that is well suited for electrical work on a motorcycle - by someone who really doesn’t know very well what he is doing.

    5Twins, I just checked online. They are selling the little tin can for $92!!! Hope one of the old ones works...

    Front turns signal troubles

    That’s exactly what I need at this point - a “baby meter.” I’ll check out the Fluke-101. Thank you, Jim.

    Front turns signal troubles

    I’ll have a look online. Does Equus or Sperry still make a reasonably-priced multimeter with the low ohm range you suggest? Thx, grizld1

    Front turns signal troubles

    Found the flasher relay (two actually) in the box of parts I got from the PO. He’s pretty sure the one on the left still works. I’ll try it out once I pull the gas tank. Don’t really care about self-cancelling feature. I can do that myself. Thanks for your help, 5twins.

    Front turns signal troubles

    Yes, I heard back from the PO, and the flasher unit was removed. This is part #2FO-83350-70-00, Flasher Relay Assembly, right? The little tin can. Is the Flasher Cancelling Unit (part# 1A0-83395-03-00 also something that I need?

    Front turns signal troubles

    Both signals are hooked up. Don’t know the wattage of each bulb, but MikesXS “says” that the lights are compatible with my bike. That said, the lights don’t come on or flash. Thank you, 5twins.

    Front turns signal troubles

    Definitely need a multimeter. Can you recommend a brand/model? I’m sure I will become good friends with this tool as I try to understand the wiring on this bike. Are there XS650 posts on the use of a multimeter that you could recommend? Thx, grizld1.

    Front turns signal troubles

    Good idea. Will do - as soon as I get the tank off. Thx.

    Front turns signal troubles

    Don’t know, will ask PO. I’ll take the tank off and have a look at the flasher unit. I assume there is a good post somewhere on XS650 about how to do this? Truly a newbie with this stuff...

    Front turns signal troubles

    Morning everyone. I have a relatively clean 1977 XS650D and am very new to working on it. I have so far replaced the old left and right assemblies and the master cylinder and have had the good fortune that, in spite of my neophyte re-wiring efforts, the switches, e.g. horn, headlight, brake...

    Rear tail light and stop lamp always on

    Update: yep, the switch had shaken loose in shipping (I guess). Took it off, tightened it up, all good now. Thx to everyone who commented. Lovin’ the XS650 forum...

    Rear tail light and stop lamp always on

    Yes, there is a switch that the lever bumps when you squeeze the front brake. The fact that the light immediately goes on suggests that this switch is defective? How might I check this?

    Rear tail light and stop lamp always on

    Working on a 1977 XS650. Swapped out the master cylinder because okd one was pretty beat up, and I also wanted a mount for a right hand mirror. Installed and re-connected the two wires (Gr/Y and Br) to the same connectors behind the headlight mess as the previous one (which worked). Put the...
