So I've got a '80 XS650. I know a little about mechanics, and close to nothing about electrics so keep any replies as easy as possible. Still learning everyday.

Ive been having huge issues with the electrics for my head/tail light. Im not paying a mechanic $60/hr cuz ive fixed many problems with the bike thanks to this forum. I'm hearing a buzzing coming from the Reserve lighting device. Ive read you dont need this, and that many people remove it.

It says disconnect then throw the RLD as far as you can, then just connect the blue/yellow to the blue/black. Thats fine but theres still 4 other wires that were going into the RLD, black red yellow green, what do i do with them?

just leave them, unless you've cut the connector, then I would isolate the wires

We don't have that fitted in our market, but I have heard before that you need to remove it and bridge two wires.
