Ok, this is probably a VERY, broad question, but let's see if anyone can steer me in the right direction.
I have a 1986 Yamaha xlv 540. It has a few electrical problems that I am trying to get to the bottom of. Specifically, the headlight does not work (currently has no tail light), the dashboard light does not work, and neither the speedometer or tachometer read. The sled does start and run so I know the spark plugs are getting power.
What I'm looking for is where to begin and how to start eliminating problems. I know a little bit about electrical, but it's not my forte. Unfortunately, every shop in my area refuses to work on anything electrical pre-1990's, so I'm forced to conduct this project solo. Challange accepted.
On a side note, there is a toggle switch with a yellow and black wire mounted the frame, not sure what it does. Switching it on and off has had no obvious affect. The diagrams online shows the switch but doesn't elaborate on its purpose. Go figure.
