Which bike is this?

Hi all,
The bike in this photo was sold to me as a 1977 XS400 but now im not so sure. It has spoke wheels, drum brakes (cable, not hydraulic) but also electric start and self-cancelling turn signals. Oh and a fiberglass front fender. What the heck is it?
Need to know so i can find the correct wiring diagram. Thanks!

There should have been an ID sticker on the frame neck with serial# and date of manufacture. The serial number will be there even if the sticker is gone or painted over.

Thanks, will this sticker also have the model number?

I have an 82 SJ, when I started trying to find out exactly what it was the first thing I found was SOHC stopped with the 81 and the 82 started 10/81 and was DOHC. When digging deeper some things didn't make sense. Mine has wire spoke wheels with drum brakes. After starting to restore it I got the original paper work from my father in law that confirmed what took me so long to find. The original paint was black with no stripes.
