Hello everyone, I just picked up an 80 xs400. It looks like it has been sitting for quite a few years so the first problem is to get it running. It has a new battery in it, im getting power to the starter relay, fuse box but when I turn the key on I get nothing. At first I thought maybe the cluster was bad but pretty much nothing up front is coming on. One of the things I noticed when I put the key in is you dont have to push down to turn it to ON and the turn is VERY short. Although the OFF and ON labels are printed pretty close together it still seems like it should be turning more or there should be a click or noticeable feel when you turn it to ON. Is this normal or should I look at a bad ignition? Thanks in advance.
