    headlight issue , high beam only

    Just putting everything back together on my 1975 650B, no Low beam headlight now , high beam works fine , it is not the bulb or at least does not appear to be, assume the first thing to check is the high/low light switch - suggestions

    Bitsa bike built from parts

    The Bitsa bike was built from all the spare parts I had laying around and finished off with parts from evil bay, it has a Triumph headlight with Lucas indicators and BSA Goldstar mufflers, sounds very loud!

    Any suggestions for a tiny low beam light (really small)

    A couple of years ago, I bought a used FJ600/XJ600 half fairing, which may end up on the XS. The original headlight was a fairly large, rectangular one, and not what I have in mind. I sort of like the late 70s Bol D'or style, like on the Honda endurance racers, with 2 lamps not recessed into the...

    Headlight Fades in and out

    1981 XS650 SH I am having a headlight issue that i am trying to diagnose before throwing money at it. When riding, if i rev high then the light goes to shit. If i dog it a bit and run in at just around 3K RPM then i can get a little bit of light to throw down. If i pull in the clutch after...

    Aftermarket Left-hand Switches Wiring HELP PLEASE

    This is my very first motorcycle project. I bought this aftermarket device for my turn signals, headlight, and horn control. It only has 8 wires while the original setup on my 1982 XS400s has 10 wires. However, they serve the same function (except the original blinker switch comes back to the...

    Hey, new guy here! I’m Max, I’ve always wanted an XS, and well, a couple weeks ago, I finally got one! 1980 XS650 barn find with a literal truckload of spares! So I was rebuilding my carbs, and I found a stray light green wire by my backbone... My headlight is out, and I looked it up, LG...

    Strange dimmer (hi/lo) switch issue.

    On my 650D I just found a weird issue. Low beam works perfectly, but when switching to high beam, low beam stays on, however the light goes a bit dim. I guess due to the increased voltage drop when both filaments are drawing current. My dimmer switch seems to be a correct European 77 model, with...

    Best headlight setup, alternatively auxillary lights.

    Like it or not, days are getting shorter again, on the northern hemisphere. So more of my riding will be in the dark. The stock 55/60W H4 is sort of ok, but far from great. So more/ better light is definitely something I want, especially since there is plenty of moose in the forest around...

On my 77xs650n D the previous owner had "students" rake the front end, but the student's still kept the headlight mounts and headlight completely stock with all the wiring inside...

    No headlight

    Phil from Seattle here, I haven't been around for a bit but I still love my XS650s. I have 3 of them now. I picked up a 79 Special awhile back. Finally got its turn and it is a runner. There were no air cleaners when I got it and the wiring was really hacked up. Lots of masking tape and black...

    Stop Lamp gauge light on when Headlight is on??

    Hello everyone, I am reaching out, hopeful for a little advice on this one. Recently this issue popped up. When I turned on my headlights, my stop lamp indicator on the gauges lit up, and remained on as long as the headlight was on. I also do not have tail light while braking function when...

    HID vs LEDS Headlight Question

    I am looking to upgrade my current headlight on my stock 1977 XS650. Nothing has been done to the bike except for fixing it up and getting it to stock running order. I have a few questions. I am looking for the brightest / most visible light possible since I do a lot of riding at night. First...
