XS650 Addict
OK. so I've been working on hard-tailing my XS650 all winter. Before I tore the bike down, everything was in working order and the bike was ridden in stock form. I have just recently put the bike back together....and am having some strange wiring gremlins. harness is stock, I just de-loomed it and re-routed some things. I extended two wires, that's all I've changed.
so, I turn the key one click, neutral light is illuminated and the brake light is BLINKING. If I disconnect the brake light and the brake sensor/switch, the light stops blinking/shuts off. I have no power to my headlight on neither high beam nor low beam. If I unplug all of the headlight wires, tail light wires, and the brake sensors front and rear....this is what I get:
Green w/yellow tracer (front brake switch) has 5 volts
Brown (front brake switch) has 12 volts
Brown (rear brake switch) has 12 volts
Yellow(rear brake switch) has 5 volts
Yellow (rear light) has 5 volts
Blue (rear light) has 12V
Yellow (headlight) has no power
Yellow w/blk tracer (headlight switch) has no power
If I check the yellow and yellow w/blk tracer wires in the headlight bucket for continuity with the key "off" I get continuity. When I unplug the lighting saftey module, the continuity is gone.
I am at a total loss here on what's going on. If I plug everything in, the rear light illuminates but the front does not. I have also noticed that for some reason my bike does not have a fuse panel, just one in-line glass tube fuse of 20A from the power wire from the starter solenoid into the main harness.
This bike is a 1979 special.
I have a friends 1981 special here and if I test his yellow and yellow w/blk tracer wires for continuity, it does have continuity until the lighting safety module is disconnected (same thing as my bike is doing) and his bike runs/rides/functions normal.
What am I missing?
