So I just finished a small rewire on my XS400, lengthened some wires and shortened others up to help them fit my cafe/brat seat. Just finished connecting all of my new terminals and plugging everything in and what do you know, it isn't charging.
I am running a brand new R292 regulator for the first time because my old one had pooped out on me. After I found out that the bike wasn't charging I tried the "Razor Blade" test and found that my field coil wasn't making any magnetism when the bike wasn't running (the field coil does however make magnetism when hot wired). I figured I may have swapped the green and brown wires (during my rewire) so I tried switching them with no luck. I suspect that my field coil not getting magnetism is the problem, but I don't know exactly why that is the case. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
