Default Electrical help needed

I just finished (well - thought so) a 2 year re-build of a backyard find. Put the new battery in my 1982 GS450LZ and the only lights that came on are the oil and neutral. Clicked into first gear and the gear indicator works also. Other than those 3 things nothing....... No lights of any kind and no starter, no horn.

Any ideas on where to start looking? The fuse (I only found one during the re-build) is fine.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

PS The bike did run (for about 2 seconds at a time) before I started the re-build. Lights worked, etc. Not sure how it ran with the carbs so plugged, but it did.

Hello Bill,
One thing to check is the battery for charge/condition.
Make sure it has at least 12.5vdc & if it is liquid filled ensure all the cells are filled above the lower mark.
Hope this helps.

Most DC wiring problems come from poor grounding.Make sure you have good vehicle ground and then trace for power to each electric circuit

I have an residence for Lease and was inquisitive of what are my alternatives in a scenario where the renter chooses to not pay the rent promptly or at all!?

After the agreement is finalized by the renter with the appropriate conditions, but not followed.
