    I got a question for anyone who has ditched their wiring harness and just rewired the whole bike themselves. Do you have a diagram you used? Any advise? I'm rewiring my xj650 maxim right now and I have power going around, coils, ignitor, headlight, and starter motor. BUT... I have no spark. So I'm not sure if I did something wrong. But any words of wisdom will be greatly appreciated. I followed a video on YouTube the best I could. Just look up xj650 rewire and it should come up. Sorry I don't have the link.

    Search minimum wiring diagram on this site. There's 1 with a green background floating around. I used that as a basis for mine when I installed an munit.
