I did manage to find the right wiring diagram, and in fact, the whole service manual.
Thats why i talked to you about this particular bikes problem you explain things better than i can lol...Paul's on to something here, witch bring me back around to what I was thinking. You have a ground problem somewhere. With that constant hot wire on there, if it has a ground problem, it will start grounding through any thing it can find. Hench you high idle problem too.
I'm going to start with the most obvious, and go back to the headlight. Did you just put a hot wire at the EHC to check that circuit, or did you isolate it. If you have a bad ground at the headlight, it will ground itself back through the high or low beam.
I have a good ground at the headlight socket. 0.3 Ohms to ground.Paul's on to something here, witch bring me back around to what I was thinking. You have a ground problem somewhere.

I DID go back and look at that. No doubt, I will look at it again. The taillights, brake lights, and turn signals are working just fine, though.When you said this earlier.
What is so infuriating about it is that everything was working except the tail lights and right rear turn signal. I tracked down those faults and all lights except the headlight work just fine now. The headlight worked before I fixed the tail lights.
Maybe go back and take another look at the right rear turn/ brake light.
I have to spend some time studying the schematic. Initially, I was going over the schematic for the carbureted version but having the wrong schematic was not going to work in my favor. After a little Googling, I found the complete service manual, including the EFI version of the schematic.Since you have the schematic, I would jump a wire from battery neg directly to EHC ground, with as much disconnected as possible power up -- add one thing at a time till it goes wrong. Process of elimination.
