headlight query
« on: October 13, 2017, 16:26:45 »
I have a 2012 650 with a headlight relay harness fitted , because its dark in the mornings now when I go to work I need to use main beam because there is no street lights , when putting on the main beam the response is immediate and the lights are a nice bright white colour , when I flick the switch back to dip beam , I notice that there is no light for a split second and the dip beam seems to "warm up "to a yellow colour ,all this only takes a split second , but noticeable , battery is OK bike runs and starts good, any thoughts would be appreciated
thanks

You may have a sticky relay. Try swapping the two relays and check for any changes in operation.
Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
Nicknames I use to lessen typing, Vee = 2002-2012 (K2-L2) DL1000s. Veek=2014+ (L4+) DL1000s. Wee = 2004-2011 (K4-L1) DL650s. Glee = 2012+ (L2+) DL650s
