Hello.
I own a Honda CB50J from 1978.
I have a few electrical problems with it.

1) The headlight keeps burning out. I have changed the bulb 4 times, the light works fine in neutral, but the second I put the bike in gear, the bulb burns out.

2) The battery is not charging. The voltage reads 6v with the bike off, and 3.5v with the bike on.

So to me it seems like all the current, which was supposed to go to the battery, is going to the headlight instead,

What advice could you guys give me? Smile
