thats what the tech at powersports said about my 600rr cause i lthought it was gay
my 600rr when the key goes to on the headlight comes on same with my suzuki and my buddy's yahama. you can watch the light flicker during start up on my buddies 02 R6.

This is true,but at the same time I have people complain on how the hell did I get a new bike,with one headlight out

Good luck on getting both of them going though man - would be a world of improvement in my opinion. : )
I have seen the write up on how to wire it,and trust me.It will be done.BUT ID rather go HID,if I can.

The more likely you are to be seen.... the better... thus the HIDs
If im ever out when you are.I want you to take a look at my bike.Id go straight to the HID set up.I love it,and more lighting the better for me,and who ever has to see me.

[QUOTE=C4_crusin]the reason only one headlight runs is to reduce drain on the battery during start up. if you dont like it you shouldn't have bought a kawi,honda,yamha. QUOTE]


wrong,lights dont come on untill AFTER the bike is started.Also I wont take less performance,Just to have lights working the way i want,when the light mod is easy..

find me some HIDs that fell off a wrecked car.

if any one here has good knowledge of the HID mod,I would liek to know if I can do this to my bike,before I tear shit up..

Please help

best bet is to go halfzees with someone else who want HIDs, then i think its as simple as wiring it in.

heres the front of my bike



Heres what i want,
both lights to be wired to be on,and BOTH to work for high beams.

Does this mean that HID is out of the question?

Any recomendations?

I'm pretty sure you'll just have to go with a dual setup.

the reflectors are make high and low - if u hook both if them up its going to look weird. thats what i heard and i seen it too. if u want both lights on just turn on ur highbeam - because the only mod worth doing to headlight is putting bio xenons
