Hey guys, first post. I've searched high and low for answers to this and I've found nothing. I finally had to join a forum. I have a 1981 XS650 Special. I have no headlight, but I do have gauge lights! I eliminated the RLU and jumped the yellow/black and Yellow/blue wires; with headlight unhooked my high beam indicator on tach reacts to flipping the high beam/low beam selector. If I hook the headlight back up, still no headlight and the high beam indicator stays lit regardless of rocker position. If I hook the RLU up then connect headlight the white RLU headlight indicator comes on and it blows the headlight fuse instantly, yet still no headlight. The bike is charging good, if I initially charge battery to 12.5 volts I get 13.8-14 volts at 3000-3500 Revs; at the battery. Also passes slap test, etc. etc. I am at the end of my rope hanging on to my knot, please send help. Thanks!
