Heres an overview
Not all of the old posts were saved, or I wouldnt be writing this out again. But anyway here it goes.
Pic #1: Just showing off my ride and my lovely garage.
Pic #2: This was my test setup to figure out how I was gonna do it.
Pic #3: Pin breakdown -
30 - green switched 12v from factory relay
85 - ground from factory harness
86 - yellow from highbeam switch to activate relay
87a - new wire to low beam of dual filament bulb
87 - yellow/black to high beam of dual filament bulb
Pic #4: This is where I mounted the relay when i was finished.
Just a few notes - I stripped some insualtion from the green and black wires from the factory harness, to solder in my wires to the new relay. I just unplugged the yellow wire and the yellow/black from the factory harnesses and made connections to the ends of those wires. I put dielectric grease all over the connections and heatshrink tube over that. I think thats it.

Narrowed down the problem of my bike- the engine sounds really low when coming to a stop from second gear or higher- like a low chatter- not as loud when it starts up. I sit in traffic and the engine chatter is low and when I release my clutch, I always stall. I can ride fine for 10 or so...

FZ6/FZ6RSo my battery is dead, or so I thought. It wouldn't start and when I jumped it, it idled really low, like 850-900rpm. I stopped by my local stealership with the battery, and they tested it, said it needed to be charged. I left it over night and picked it up today. They said they load tested...

This is my 1st bike and I will be tagging along after my spouse on his FJR1300. We are adding a slightly taller windscreen, heated grips and the new Givi PLX hard cases and plan on adjusting the seat foam to get it a bit 'kinder, gentler' to a long distance bee-hind. Who has long distance time...

The bikes are about the same dimensions and the FZ1 shock is only about $250.00, which seems pretty cheap compared to some after market shocks...
