mountain_man Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi I am new to motorcycles and just got a 1980 xs 400 that had a bad ignition switch. So going on the advice of a friend and wanting to ride it I tried to hot wire it. In the process of cutting the wires to the ignition I heard a spark, and then after crossing the wires nothing happened. Did I short out the electrical system in doing this, or could there be a simpler consequence than having to rewire the bike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeepurz Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 like he said blew fuse, find a switch unplug the old one plug in the new one & cross your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
