Unplug the key switch and ignition switch. The bike will run without them, but if the key switch is unplugged, none of the lights will work.

What do I need to troubleshoot Honda XL?
Keep in mind the XL has THREE different charging systems: One for the headlight, one for the ignition, and one for the Battery and Accessories. You will also need either a test light, or a volt meter. Heres my test light- a real cheap one that came with some set of tools. Works great! Step 1. Eliminate the stupid stuff.
Can a Honda XL run without a battery?
