Hello, so i just picked up this 1980 xs650. It kickstarted fine, and then the battery died, ive replaced it and still no power. Was thinking stator but a few people have said thats unlikely, and pointed me towards checking for grounding out somewhere.
I checked the battery strap to the bike, and when i go from end of strap to where it bolts on im reading .5 ohms, but when i go from end of strap directly to bike frame im reading infinity, so is that where its grounding out?
Here are pics and thanks for any advice!
