I'm Michael, I live in a small town in Ohio with my two kids and a desire to learn to build bikes! I bought a basket case Suzuki GS550 a little over a year ago just so I could have a bike of my own. Shortly after I purchased a ride-able 1990 Intruder VS750 so needless to say the GS550 still sits in boxes lol. I did some custom work on the VS750 and ride it all the time its just not the right bike to build imo.
On to the good stuff. I purchased an 8k mile 1975 XS650 (My first one!) last week with an electrical problem... I am, lets just say not so smart when it comes to wires. I'v been trying to figure it out and I feel as though everything is in a foreign language
It has an electronic ignition on it already but I have no idea what brand. I have been looking threw the "Some wiring diagrams" in tech but have yet to figure out which one I should even use haha. Keep in mind this is all new to me, I'm learning as I go!
The day I brought her home!
Electronic Ignition
Box on left side
My plan is to get her running and build a scrambler. I am looking at an '81 parts bike (no title) this weekend. I plan on running the 35mm front end and eventually using the spare motor in the bike while I Rephase, HHB PMA and Pamco ignition the motor that is currently in the bike. Those are future plans after I ride her for a while and make sure I like her.
Any info on what wiring diagram to use and what ignition I have would be greatly appreciated. I'm glad to be part of the site there seems to be loads of great information and great people!!
