Look over my schematic for me, please

This is my first attempt at wiring anything. Hopefully someone can look over my schematic and give me some suggestions and advice. How's it look overall

The LED on the blinker....Should not be in series....in addition, it will be on when the signals are not flashing. It would flash with the signals, but because the blinker senses load, there is power tot he l/r switch all the time, meaning the LED will stay on.

The LED needs to be powered after the signal switch, and you can either use 2 LEDs, one for left, one for fight, or 2 diodes to isolate left from right.
 
Okay, thanks. I moved it and added another one to each of the power lines between the Left / Right switch. My other question is about the Br wire coming from the reg/ rec. Should that tap into the brown wire leaving the ignition switch? I copied that bit from another schematic and was unsure. There is a red wire that goes directly from the reg/ rec to the key. The brown one, though, goes from the reg/ rec to the circuits for the brake lights, turn signals, horn, etc.
 
Based on the colors, I'm assuming this is for a Yamaha? I'm gonna guess XS650 from the mid 70s?


Some trivial stuff, but here's the following things I've identified:
*R/R should connect directly to the battery without any fuses (personal preference rather than "real" requirement)
*Why two wiring runs to front right signal?
*Left turn signal sort of shows as being wired in series and it should be in parallel
*Yellow capped wire from the alternator could possibly be rectified and included into to the charging system, but not a huge issue if it's capped
 
I guess I should have mentioned this, but yes, it is a '75 XS650. I just noticed that second wire from the right turn signal looks like it goes back to the switch but it doesn't. It goes to the rear.

Where would the yellow wire go if I were to use it? As it sits now, I believe it is capped.

Thanks!

Here's an updated one

Dang you're good! Haha

You can stick a diode on it and patch it right into the brown. Probably just easier to cap it though.

lol... thanks.

The yellow wire from the alternator was an addition to run a relay that prevented the headlight from coming on until the bike was running. The 80s' models had that too, but they also had an electronic ignition, so the Pamco unit wouldn't have been needed. The single, dual output coil was an indicator of a 360° twin. That left either the XS400 or the XS650 and the 650 is the more common of the two. :P

Any pros or cons besides simplicity to one or the other? Thanks again!

I'm not sure how much wattage the yellow wire is capable of, but my guess is it's minimal. If it were me I'd just cap it.
There would be a very slight increase in wattage generation if you were to splice it in, though.
 
I'm gonna bring this one back. I've been studying some various diagrams and looking at the way the bike is currently wired. I've made a few changes and am hoping for some feedback/ approval. The one question I have is this: Can I remove the "light checker" or "reserve lighting module" circuit without any problems? I honestly don't even see what it does except tell you when lights go out. Thanks!
