Is it possible that somebody posts an actual picture of the things that need to be done for the lights to be on together. Is it necessary to get a relay to do this? Thank you, electrics is not my thing.
Anyone have a aftermarket supplier of the bomb squad gear? I don't want to pay KTM prices for that! :eek1
I wonder what that stuff would do if the bomb exploded? I don't expect you'd be getting up and walking away, and if you did survive it you'd probably wish you were dead anyway!? :huh
I don't really know, but ballistic Kevlar is supposedly bad ass shit, so if it is designed properly not much should get through it.
First of all, thank you Plava Kućo! You are the man!! Hvala ti i za sve drugo! Razgovarao sam s jednim tapetarom i kae da bi mi mogao malo podići Renazco sic koji ti ima, pa kad skupim lovu javim se, kae da bi me to kotalo cca 200kn. Ballistic kevlar....helps, but this close, he might as well be naked dancing a funky chicken. Check Plava Kuca's garage sale, the man has loads of goodies.
Page deleted, post was to old... Inace ono gore moze i bez osiguraca, ja ih nisam stavljao, samo spojis zice... Onako treba izgledati kada je gotovo. Sto se tice tapetara, nema problema, ako ti to pase...
As electrics are not my thing, I need a little help with wiring both headlights together....I own a 2001 Adv. model and even though I have seen the diagram I cant figure out what I need to do, so please help....step by step.... Here's the pic of how It looks on my bike..... I don't plan on including a fuse, I have info it is going to work without it as I don't use heated grips or heated west's... Thank you!
Heba ga patak.... 1. utikač na fotki desno 2. poanta je struju sa smeđe-zelene ice, gornji red 2. (srednja) ica spojiti na utu, donji red 1. (lijeva) ica znači npr. odree utu malo dalje od utikača, dio te ute koji je ostao na utikaču spoji nekako na smeđe zelenu icu, (stopicom ili skine izolaciju na smeđe zelenoj pa pričvrsti utu, ostatak ute u glavnom kablu izolira i zaboravi.
I've just recently acquired an '07 640 Adv and very much appreciate those of you who have left this kind of information here for folks like me to find. I DO have one question if it's not TOO long after the fact; I installed / wired the relay as indicated on the diagram and the high / low beans do indeed stay on together, BUT there is (I believe as I'm a certified electridiot) an unintended consequence; since the Acc Pwr Point is not controlled by the ignition switch, the headlights (at least the low beam) will stay on after the ignition is switched off. This can be remedied (short term) by switching the headlights to high beam (then both lights go off), but I'm afraid it's all too easy to forget this minor maneuver and leave the low beam on until the battery suffers... Any suggestions on how to solve this dilemma? I did search around the cockpit area for some other larger ignition controlled wires that would be a potential source of power for the relay, but didn't have much luck.
when i did mine, i ran a complete new power wire for the relay. saved all the stuffing round I think.............?
Don't know why youd go to all that trouble.When i fitted the hid's i had a look at the drawing for the bike and you could put a bridge in so that the low stayed on all the time and everything else played as per normal. If i get a chance after I've had some sleep I'll look at the drawing and post up where i put the bridge (ie -jioned in a 2 inch piece of wire from one wire to another) Shane
+1. The std wires are hopeless for the lights, that's why they glow a dim orange (no pun intended). ADVPete just ran proper wires from the battery and used relays, the difference was night and day once the lights got a fat juicy feed. I did the same, ran a separate feed from the battery and relays, but I also went HID. For HID you really need an on/off switch, as the draw at startup is quite high and can make it hard to crank the starter. An on/off switch isn't a bad idea anyway. Hard-wired lights on a freezing cold morning sucks the juice from the battery, and it will struggle to turn the bike over.
yeah, i'm running HID's too. i'm actually struggling to remember how i did it exactly. I'm sure i used that diagram above though.
I run the power wire for the low beam relay from the parking light. This means that my low beam come on when I switch from OFF to PARK and stay on permanently. When I switch to MAIN, I can use the high beam. Low beam still stays on. I am running 55w HID, 4,500K bulbs. Best thing I have ever done to this bike.
unrelated to the lights discussion, where do i find your picture thingo and how do i get it onto my desktop background?
I have just come up with a trick way to do this. on my 05 I have a flash switch like a trigger on the front of my headlight switch I i ran a toggle to those 2 wires the green/black stripe, and white and now I can have low beam high beam and flip the toggle and get both just a different approach thought id share
Living up here in the frozen north I had a different need. When putting around in the late fall with heated grips turned on and lugging in second and third gear because it can , I was killing battery due to low rpm. So I unhooked low beam from wire harness and ran auxiliary wire from heated grip relay to switch and then to low beam. This way I can run low beam/high beam / no beam or all beam. Happy happy happy
