I have a 1980 xs400 and i've been trying to figure out this electrical gremlin that is causing my headlight to be rather dim. Has anyone else ran into this issue? does anyone know any possible solutions?
Also, the headlight comes on as soon as I turn the key to the on position. From what i've been told that this should be the case. The headlight should come on after the bike has started. What is correct?
The headlight relay white connector looks like it has gotten little hot in the past. I'm wondering if the Blue wire leading to the hi-lo switch has been crossed with the red/yellow wire that comes from the fuze box.
Note:
I had to install a new diode on the white wire that leads to the headlight relay, but currently have it unplug because it was causing the charging voltage to drop a bit.
