First off. Man am I glad I found you guys. I recently purchased a 78 SR500 that's been horribly mistreated and I intend on bringing her back to glory.
The left handlebar switch was shot and I purchased an aftermarket but I'm having trouble wiring the headlight. The new switch has a hi/lo "push in" button as well as an on/parking/off toggle switch. When I wire up ignoring the parking wire, my high beam works but my low doesn't. The new switch has four wires dedicated to the headlight. a high beam, low beam, parking light, and h/l main wire.
I'm also having turn signal issues but I think thats because of the "flasher cancelling Unit" on the bike because I didn't have an option to use the yellow/red wire that goes back to that unit. I'm guessing I need to bypass that unit and connect the y/r to the y/g that goes to the flasher relay but please correct me if I'm off base there.
Thanks in advance for your help.
