Yamaha XS 650 help.

TOOLS1
Administrator
A friend bought a Bobbed XS 650 and brought it to me in the hopes that I would be able to straighten out all the shade tree work. I just rebuilt the formally rebuilt by the PO engine, that had the second rings in upside down, and a .030 ring gap. I have also rebuilt the rear brake, and now the wheel will actually turn. However now I am turning my attention to the wiring. Now I could wire up a CB 750 Bobber/chopper in my sleep, but am totally lost with the charging system on this bike. It has a component that looks like a solid state reg/rec, and two components that look like regulators. Any help in identifying these components, and finding which wiring diagram to use would be greatly appreciated.

I have no advice off hand. But I do know I've heard many guys talking about the charging systems on  XS's. IIRC, there is sort sort of Dodge (minivan,maybe?) charging components that a lot of guys use. Maybe that will help in some Google searches.

The heat sink'd unit. What wires are coming out of it?

And just shooting from the hip, the unit all the way to the right looks like a just a relay.

I posted this on an XS 650 forum, and was given this diagram.

It seems to match my wires, and components, so I think this is how it is getting rewired.

Yea, Yamaha was afraid an idiot might hang on the starter button, or push it after the engine was running.
