Hi All
A friend of mine gave me his 79 xs650. It’s been sitting for decades. Trying to get her back on the road.
So far I rebuilt carbs, changed oil, adjusted valves and worked on brakes.
Brakes are where my question comes in.
When I turn the key to the on position the brake/tail light comes on. Is this normal? There’s another switch over on the right handlebar for engine run\stop. If I switch that to stop the brake/tail light goes off.
Is this normal or do I have an electrical issue to chase down?
I did replace the front brake cylinder and rebuilt the rear. Maybe I did something wrong?
Thanks for your help!
