Folks,
I have been developed a growing library of airhead electrical system documents. So far I've written documents that cover the /5, and /6 1975-76, electrical systems.
For each I document the wiring system circuit by circuit with explanations of what goes where and notes about well know problems and a description of how the electrical components work. I also put together an Electrical System Basics document to help those who are mystified about electricity and how it is applied to our airhead motorcycles.
I've been working on these documents off and on for the past two years and figured they might be helpful. You can find them on my web site, "Brook's Airhead Garage" using this link.
I plan to add additional documents covering the 1977 RS and possibly the 1983 RS as I have both of those, have completely rebuilt the '77RS and plan to do the same for '83 RS soon.
I see more and more questions about electrical system problems, and I expect this to increase as these bikes get older. Many folks struggle with electrical wiring diagrams and don't have a good understanding of how the electrical components work. So they are at a loss about how to proceed with fault isolation and problem solving.
I hope this material is helpful. Have a great New Year.
Best.
