Headlight switch XS2

[nordic moto garage]

Hello again,

Ive changed my light controlls on the handlebar with a new one, but I didn't notice it didn't have a headlight on/off switch. Which I need. So i thought I could use the one on the headlight, which have been disconnected before I got the bike. But Im having trouble figuring out which wire to go where.

Before I did this I tested with a multimeter and the switch it works.

And before that I had a running bike with headlights working fine.

Now I cant get the headlight to work. Bulb is fine btw. I try to read the original diagram but I get even more dizzy reading that then running the bike in a closed garage while spray painting without a mask.

Ive tried multiple things now but im stuck... any idea what to do?

(Picture with 4 wires; Y, R, G, B is going up to the old light switch. Ive opened it up to see where they went and it looks like Yellow and Blue was connected to the On/Off switch. Green and red+yellow for high and low beam).

Also, my breaklight is always on brake light. It kinda micro blinks once when i hit the brake. Any tips what to do here too?

Scroll down, Mailman posted a lot of pics regarding his switches when he done his XS2 restoration.

This thread was about building a true account of an XS2 and 73TX wiring diagram.

Might find something to help you.

Green and red+yellow for high and low beam).
Green is there entering low .But the other one is Yellow for High If I see correct
Correct me if I am wrong

Guessing again
The red yellow is on the upside switch -- and blue downside switch
I Guess turning light switch on connects Red Yellow to Blue lighting Instrument lights
And then Hi or Low depending on that position
