Replaced main fuse, checked others. Two of the 5A fuse sockets would not carry current across them, even with good fuses. This lead me to a short somewhere. There is a black wire running from the stator wiring at battery -- one hot lead goes to points/breaker; second goes along left side under pod cover to the wiring harness. It was intermittent, then all of a sudden it tested good with my light and gauge lights were on. I fired up the bike -- now i'm deaf in right ear due to backfire!!!
A previous owner wired in a manual fan switch. Far as i can tell from wiring diagram, this black wire running from stator/alternator/points wiring to the front is somehow wired to the fan switch, so it was re-routed? Wonder why it is constant hot, and has been spliced in the middle under the left pod. Maybe it originally split off to fan motor switch.
Anyway, bike works great now. Thanks for helping.
