So I'm new here and for the most part new to motorcycles. I have had a love for them ever since I was a kid and even mounted an engine on a bicycle while I was in Iraq to ride around my base on. So long story short I decide I want to make a motorcycle my primary transportation and ride all year long. I only had 1500$ to do it with so I found a beautiful 650 with only 8k on the clock for 1200$(should have been a red flag) Everything tuned and working needs nothing(should have been another flag). Meet up check the bike out looks fine I ask the guy why he is selling it cheap he says bad arthritis and its has been sitting and he would rather have the money. Now the owner I feel left some stuff out as he was selling cheap but from what I could see it was fine. not even 15mins down the road I get some back firing so I'm like ok carbs need to be tuned and cleaned cool thats just maintenance. Well low and behold I get it to my place and the headlight starts to smoke. Come to find out somewhere in the only 3 owners of the bike someone decided to hot wire to main and ignition. So I replaced the harness and the headlight, good to go right? Wrong for some reason I still can't get the headlight to work even though everything is connected correctly. I have had this bike a month and have yet to ride at night and may I remind you its my only transportation. I also had to replace the battery which is cool again maintenance but now she is not charging the battery I am assuming it needs the brushes replaced. So right now she sits in a messed up state and me being pissed that I bought a project bike when I never meant to in the first place. I wish I just had the money to bring it to a shop and tell them to fix it but I don't and even though I was a mechanic for three years in the army I am frustrated because I have not been able to enjoy my bike. As of now she sits with these issues. Also I am at the point where I am not sure where to start.
Clutch needs adjustment-Minor
Headlight doesn't work-Major
Carbs need cleaning and adjustment-Major
Battery doesn't charge-Major

I guess what I am saying is I need help. So would there be anyone willing to help me at the moment I have no money but I have plenty to trade almost to much to post here I have a computer, cell phone, parts, games what ever I just need help this is so disheartening and I really just want to be able to ride my bike is all.
