Building an 1978 XS400 brat style - cut down the front springs 2" and replaced stock rear shocks with rebel shocks, plus some other frame mods.
Could use some help with a question.
On a stock XS400, with the battery and the stock harness, does the headlight light when the key is turned on? The tail light does. The battery is charged. I'm doing some rewiring, and everything works fine, except the headlight doesn't light when the key is turned on. The only thing I haven't wired is the starter solenoid - I only plan to kick start it. I don't know if the headlight will ultimately work when I start the bike, because I don't want to fill and install the gas tank and test it until after all wiring is done.
I thought the headlight light when the key was on, but maybe not - I don't remember.
Anybody with a stock '78 xs400F out there?
