Need more time...
So it turns out my start button is fine. It's the kill switch that is backwards. From what I can tell, the kill switch is designed for a bike where the circuit is normally open while in operation, then you close it (I assume short the coil) to shut the bike off. The xs400 apparently needs a closed circuit to run. I turned the switch to the off position and pressed the button just to see and Voila! it turned right over.
However, now I have a problem with my headlight. It was working then it just stopped. I went all the way back to the relay. I couldn't find a 12V charge to the relay so my first thought was it must be a fuse but all my fuses are fine. I had to buy a relay for it a few months back as well so I wonder if something is killing the relay as well. Anyone ever had a problem like this? Could anyone tell me what color the wire is that should be providing my 12V constant? The wire running to the headlight is blue/black.
Also, I sill don't have any clue whats wrong with my turn signals, they just won't work. I grounded that yellow/red wire just to see what would happen and something under the seat just started freaking out like it was clicking but so fast it sounded like a buzz, even after I pulled the wire off. Once I shut the key off and turned it back on, it was fine. Any ideas? Did I break something?
