The 1979 was the last year with breaker point ignition, but it is
possible that the bike has had an aftermarket electronic ignition
installed. Look at the coil (usually under the tank) and track the low
tension wires back.

There are good wiring diagrams in the Clymer and Hanes manuals, and
google should show up some online with a little judicious search foo.

i believe the 79 was the second year of the
stator-electronic ignition.
google up the yahoo xs650 groups for more specifics.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
