    Hi guys. I've come across a problem with my 2000 VFR800. With the headlights on and the engine running the Fi light comes on and if I use the indicators it flashes in time with the indicators if I turn the headlight off the problem goes away, it seems to have no effect on the performance. But it's really annoying. So far I've checked the main earth, the connectors on the wireing loom all that looks fine. I've run out of ideas has anyone ever come across this problem before and how did you solve it?? Any help would be amazimg! Thanks in advance

    i think there is a green ground block in the battery area that causes issues. i think you may need to trim some harness cover back to see it. one of the other guys may be able to give you the exact location
