Electrical time!
Hooked up the battery charger and connected to output of the regulator. I'm not really entirely sure which wiring diagram to work from. I'm using this one, but I don't see a rectifier on the bike, only a regulator. So I think it's close but not quite right. It's the only one I can find for a battery less VNX2....
It's hard for me to tell what parts (if any) are actually DC in my bike or if it's all AC. At any rate, using the battery charger gave:
-rear brake light works from floor pedal (unable to test front brake switch - no cable/lever action
-rear running light works
-fuel gauge and low warning light work (moving tank to simulate different levels)
-high/low beams work
Turn signals - not so much. If they are AC, I'm not surprised the flasher isn't clicking with DC supply. If I turn them on, the rear one will light and hold steady, but the front one does not on either side. I'm not sure if this is just a side effect of the testing method, we will see once the bike runs.
The bezel does not light up, so I went hunting for the bulb and got a surprise - the PX speedo is a mystery to me. Are there replaceable bulbs here? How? And even if I think I can pull those square things out to replace a bulb - I don't see a bulb for the back illumination of the bezel..... I"m stumped!
