need help with wiring

[6772man]

I know there are multiple threads on this subject. First off, i searched this with no luck and much confusion. I have what i believe to be a '79 and i need a very simple wiring diagram. I am a power lineman but these little wires scare the hell out of me. I will need headlight hi-lo,brake light tail-light, horn, neutral light, horn, and starter. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

should be something here you can use, you say you think it's a 79 so does it have points? mechanical regulator?

the best (simplest) is from sinister cycles...very easyto follow..just do one wire at a time, in about 3 hours you can do a complete bike...all 12v+ run each wire (you call it a home run wire) and each neg wire run each wire...

3 hrs? I spent 16 hours on mine. It was worth it. I guess if you want to use plastic connections n electrical tape it could be done in 3 hrs.

For a basic chop/bobber, I found this one helpful.

Easy in 3 to 4 with solder and heat shrink. But i do electrical for a living.

i drew this line diagram out.

its for a cb500/4 sohc. but it is easily adapted. a bit fuzzy, if you want the clear one pm me.

Jayel, it does not have points and i dont know the differences between the regulators.

6772man If it has the TCI it has the combo reg/rec. The one tech7 posted is for the older seperate reg rec.
I like this diagram. It shows the basic wiring and you can swap boxes for different options.

well if it doesn't have points it's not a 79 unless PO changed stuff might want to post your serial number to figure out what you have for sure (something like) ???-???*** will work

i used the diagram xsleo posted above because I found it to be the most detailed and easiest to understand. 20 hrs was about how long it took me.

Hey Jayel, how about 2F0-200299? There was no papers with this bike when i got it so, i'm not sure exactly what i got.

Think about getting some factory style connectors. Vintage Connectors had the best solution for me. I bought the crimp tool too. Without it you can't really do a proper crimp.

Sooner or later you might need to remove things and the connectors make it easy.

1979 XS 650 SF as Jayel said.....OEM stock had points ignition, cast wheels, disc brakes front & rear, last year with Mikuni BS 38 carbs. Who knows what's happened since?

Here's the stock wiring diagram.....determining what you have versus this may be a good starting point before starting on how you want it to be? Blue
