I'm having some electrical prblems so I bought a Haynes manual but it doesn't say where the Earth points are on the bike, I found one behind the rear plastic on the off side about half way along the seat.
So if anyone knows where the eaarth points are on the 650's please let me know.
Specificly i'm trying to find the ones for the high beam and flasher circuits.
All help appeciated.
Thank you

There is not a seperate earth for the high beam. If the dip is working the earth is fine. The flasher unit doesnt use an earth. There is only earths to the flashers and within the instrument bezel for the small repeater/warning lamps.
Cheers

Ooh er, that is odd then, your right the dipped beam is ok but when i put the high beam on the the dipped beam goes out and high beam doesn't come on, leaving me in the dark, but the bulb is fine, and the flashers when used flash once very time then stop but start working ok once the bike has warmed up.
Er i don't understand "instrument bezel for the small repeater/warning lamps" do you mean inside the clocks?
Do you think this could be the handlebar switches playing up?
Thanks for your help

Right. If the dip burns the earth is obviously ok.
Get yourself a little tester. Put it between the main beam wire and earth with the main beam switched on. It should tell you whether you have 12v pos at the bulb.
If there is no 12v pos at the bulb check the dip switch out in the same way.
The little lamps (repeaters) in the dash (bezel) that flash to let you see the indicators are on when you are riding.
The indicators flashing slowly could be an indication that the battery is low but as you dont seem to have any complaint about starting chack the wattage of the indicator bulbs followed by maybe swapping out the flasher unit,
