wiring

The bike was running just fine about 2 months ago. It would almost always start with little to no trouble and would run fine for the most part. After a series of projects that I've been working on I put everything back together and now I can't get ANYTHING. I'm getting absolutely nothing from...

I just stepped into a new world. I purchased an '81 xs400 Special last week. This is my first bike and it needs a little love. First step in the project is to put blinkers back on it. I had to purchase a new relay as the original owner ripped the old one out. With the new relay in I still...

Boy howdy, I'm new to the forum and have been doing some work on my XS for the past 6 months or so on and off, it's only now that I have something I'd like some feedback on. I'm doing a sort of tracker build on my bike and will be replacing the majority of the stock electrical components with a...

Hey folks, I'm trying to help a good friend get a bastardized '76 XS360 back on the road, and the last hurdle to jump is the wiring (of course). I rebuilt the motor crank-up a couple years ago, but it's all been sitting since then. Time to get this thing going. I'm looking for a simplified...

so I know this isn't xs11.com but I've had a lot better input on here so I'm hoping for some luck. I bought this bike (79' xs1100 standard) and the guy I got it off really was doing some weird stuff with the wiring , I know it turns over and runs just fine by jumping it from the solenoid. I...

I'm working on designing the rewire for my 1981 XS400SE (4G5). I plan to use an RR38 regulator/rectifier and a simplified design for the wiring. I'm hoping this will eventually be an easy to follow diagram for any of you contemplating carrying out a rewire Can anybody point out any places I'm...

Hello, 1980 xs400 special Can anyone tell me, does the the electric start switch connect in anyway to the turn signal switch?

I can fix engines, I can fab parts, I can build tools.......but electrical stuff is not my strong suit. Anything more than just basic wiring or similar is beyond my area of expertise so I'm hoping to enlist some help from the more experienced people on here. I'm working on building a Cafe...

Hi everyone. I'm starting a charging system thread, and a thousand apologies for that. My issue is, near as I can tell, a new one, and one that's virtually impossible to Google. My problem is that my new combined reg/rec seems to be outputting 12V flat to the battery. Just try searching for...

hey everyone, new to this stuff.. was accidentally sent the wrong wiring harness for my 79 xs400f. was sent an 80... didnt want to go through the whole shipping back and what not, and have almost everything rewired for it. BUT, ran into 1 problem- the pick up on the 79 has 2 wires while the...

hey guys I came across this wiring diagram and wondered if it will work or better yet if there's something missing thank you for any help

New to this forum and the world of rebuilding a 1981 Yamaha XS400! I purchased this bike from a buddy for 150$ it was completely disassembled right down to the frame and the parts where in a box... I've been putting it all back together now and she is almost ready to start! Just one small...

Hey guys, will this charging diagram part of my system work? I am SO LOST, but feel like I'm getting close to grasping.

Greetings! I recently purchased new handlebar switches from MikesXS. They have arrived and look great. The right hand switch installation was simple. The left hand switch, not so much. I have blinkers and a horn, but no headlight. I have a 1981 XS400. The original light switch had 6-wires...

I need some help on wiring. I have a 1977 XS400 and I bought a left side handlebar control that has the blinker control, horn, and High/Low beam switch from DimeCityCycles. I wired up the headlight, yellow wire, green, and black, but the light isn't coming on. I noticed that when I took apart...

I replaced the handlebars on my 1981 but in doing so a cable next to the new clutch cable came apart.... I dont know what it is to know if I can purchase a new one or if it is able m to reconnect how it is currently. Basically I don't know much of anything about this bike... or any. It is my...

So I just bought a 1982 yamaha seca 400 and I am building my own wiring diagram. I am using on relays and the old ignition and rectifier. I was looking at my bike and there is four wires besides the three yellow wires coming from the rectifier. I looked as many diagrams as I could find and they...

So I wrote about this last week and since 3 of us have had the same issues, I figured it's time for pictures. I lost my voltage regulator. It shorted out and then the bike lost tons of volts with the key on. I could trickle charge it over night but it bothered me how much I was losing power...
