Hi guys, I’m currently working on my ’79 XS650 project and I’ve got to the wiring stage which has become a nightmare. The bike starts, runs and stops well but I’m having issues wiring in the headlight, turn signals and new speedo (back lit, indicator light, high beam light). I don't think there's power getting to the front end of the bike where i need it..
I have a wiring diagram, test light and other tools but I’m really struggling with wiring things up. I think the PO has messed around a lot with the harness and hoping you guys can help?
A bit about my bike – PMA, new battery, 3 wired blade fuses (20, 10, 10),
What works:
What I’m struggling with:
I’m good with mechanics things but wiring just drives me nuts…
Cheers.

What works:
- Brake light
- Horn
- Starter motor
- Kill switch
- Ignition
What I’m struggling with:
- I have constant power to a couple of brown wires coming out of the two harnesses up at the front of the bike
- I have no power to what I think is the headlight yellow wires when ignition is switched on
- Do all grounds work the same? Or do some work for specific parts of the bike?
