I've just done a quick mod to the light circuit that causes the headlights to be disabled until you want them on!. Reasons: 1) The mod' will "extend the useable life of your battery" (currently you have to replace the battery once it refuses to crank) 2) Will greatly assist very cold starts. WARNINGS: 1) It will be UP TO YOU to turn your lights ON, I recommend you do so prior to riding, for all the obvious reasons!. 2) In hot weather, should you NOT turn your lights on and go riding, you may overheat your regulator-rectifier AND OR boil your battery to the point that it is permanently damaged. How to turn your LoBeam on once you've done the mod?: Just press the "PASSING" button OR momentarily flick ON the HiBeam (only a few tenths of a second will do). The LoBeam will now stay on till you turn the ignition OFF. Scope: 2002 + VFR800 Equipment Needed: 1) Normal bike tool kit 2) Soldering iron, solder 3) wire cutters 4) about 1 Meter of 10Amp wire 5) Heat shrink (assorted sizes) or electrical tape 6) A 12V automotive relay 7) 2 off power diodes (like 1N4004, these are cheap!) 8) 4 fem' tab terminals and a ring terminal 9) some cable ties Instructions: 1) Remove the front fairing of the bike 2) locate the LO beam relay, 3) cut the Blue/White wire leaving enough wire to do a splice on both sides of the cut 4) add a ground wire to one side of the new relay coil 5) connect both of the diode cathodes to a Tab terminal and connect this to the other side of the new relay coil 6) connect one of the diode anodes to the Blue/Black wire coming from the HiBeam relay (some wire will be needed and a splice) 7) on the remaining diode anode add two wires, one going to the normally open side of the new relay and the other going to the Blue/White wire coming from the LoBeam relay (again some wire needed here) 8) the remaining (unterminated) end of the Blue/White wire goes to the as of yet unconnected side of the new relay coil 9) now mount the new relay, being careful not mount it where water can easily get into it. And make sure nothing can short circuit. 10) Test then re-assemble the bike. Done. Schematic is attached below. The YELLOW bits are NEW. Comments: My mod is tidy and weather proof. Now I'll be not so stressed if I need to clutch her and know that she's more likely to start after I've been away and without having to leave a charger connected...
