High Beam Wire
After looking over all the posts on the site I did a little digging to look at various options for tapping off the high beam wire for my IQ-275A LED light controller.
I pulled off the right headlight cover and found the suggested PINK high beam wire others have posted and suggested about. (See Photo Later)
I then pulled off the right side battery cover and top plastic cowling looking for another high beam wire tap off place.
I believe I found the high beam wire under the rubber cover in the top area tried to use the OEM Service manual to verify it but had no luck.
So out comes DVM
With the key on and engine not running ...
I get no voltage at the pink wire in either the high beam on or low beam on handlebar switch positions. No surprise as the high beam light is not on without the engine on.
With the key on and the engine running
I get 13.8 V + with respect to the battery GND on the PINK wire with the High Beam Switch on and the High Beam shinning.
I get ~ 0V on the PINK wire with the LOW BEAMS ON
QUESTIONS
The battery Voltage is 14.2 V DC with the engine running
.. The Voltage at the PINK wire is 13.8 V DC ..
Is the 0.4 V DC drop typical ?
