I have a 81 xs400. I have taken it for short rides without the battery charging and the bike runs absolutely great! I recently, as of tonight replaced the stator and stator field coil to fix the "not charging" problem. Prior to replacing them I tested both and they tested bad. I installed the "new" parts (their used), buttoned everything up added oil and fired the bike up. Within 15 second of the bike running I had a puff of smoke come from the wiring harness. I cut open the wiring harness and discovered that the white wire is fired!
Questions
What is the white wire for? It looks, from the wiring diagram that is supply power to lots of things
Why would/ what caused the white wire to fry after I installed the stator and stator field coil?
how screwed am I? I loath wiring.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
