I’ve made my first XS blunder I ordered a new wiring harness but I screwed up and got the wrong one. I ordered for a 1980 XS650G when what I actually have is a 1981 XS650SH. And wouldn’t it be my luck that the supplier does not accept returns of electronic parts. As far as I can tell, these are the differences:
1) 650G has a light checker, the 650SH does not
2) 650SH has a clutch switch and starter relay, the 650G does not
I know I can bypass the light checker, and it doesn’t look too difficult to wire the clutch switch and starter relay in. If I go that route I’d like to unwrap and eliminate all the unnecessary wires from the harness...am I kidding myself or is that doable? It’s either pull this thing apart and take out the wires I don’t need / splice in the ones I do, or order the right one and try and sell this one off.
