Hi all,
I'm trying to wire up my xs650. It's a 1982 xs with TCI ignition, and I'm only running a headlight and brake light. Kick start too. So it should be really basic wiring.
So I've hooked up the charging harness and the ignition harness. I haven't yet even messed with splicing in the headlight and brake light. As it stands, I've only got two leftover wires (red on the ignition harness, brown on the charging harness) not connected to something, and the diagram I've got says that these two wires should both be connected to the switched(+) side of the ignition switch. Well, I don't have one yet, so i just hooked them together for the time being.
My question -- shouldn't this very, very rudimentary setup be enough to start the bike? Because I'm getting no indication that it is. Any help?
