    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I tried looking at the wiring diagram, but couldn't figure out exactly what it does. Looks like it ties into the oil pressure and the kickstand circuits... just want to know more about its actual function.

you picture is not coming up, but all wires are color coded and can be found in the manual.
 
Green wire with white tracer and a green wire with a yellow tracer. They seem to be connected with a diode inside the headlight assembly. Wiring diagram simply says DIODE and it appears to be linked into the kickstand and the oil pressure wiring...
 
"Wiring diagram simply says DIODE"

wonderful things diodes...only allow current to flow in one direction. Looks like in this case, they can turn on a warning light if your bike is running and your kickstand is down. Wish I had one as I've exited gas station without checkng! you looking at this wiring diagram?

The diode is there to control operation of the side stand light and the oil pressure light. If the side stand is down, only the side stand light will be on, but if oil pressure is low, BOTH lights will be on, hoping that might catch your attention sooner.

You can verify proper operation easily. With side stand UP and engine running, put the side stand down, just that light will come on. Put the stand back up, use the "kill" switch to turn the engine off, BOTH lights should come on.
