    XS400 electrical issues

    I'm having a few issues that I'm having trouble figuring out. I put the bike back together this week. Battery was dead (going to buy a new one), but I gave it a charge and started it up after some struggling. Got the bike running, but here are where the issues start. Previous owner threw the...
