SOURCE: N.Z. Yamaha FZ6S Headlights

There is a genuine reason why this is the standard setup for this bike. At night, the dual-headlight of the bike can appear to other motorists that you are in a car at a much greater distance than is actual. As you can imagine, this might result in someone pulling out in front of you, completely unaware that you are bearing down on them at a short distance. So, for safety reasons, only a single beam is lit when using dipped/low beam.

However, if you accept the risk above, you can do what is known as the 'dual headlight mod'. There are 2 accepted methods for this.

The first method simply requires bridging the 2-pin connector (H7 bulb) to the spare on the 3-pin connector (H4 bulb). Instructions have been posted by ‘Gand’ at the following link:

http://solsar.com/fz6/headlight.htm

The second method is more complex, and requires a decent knowledge of auto-electrics, as you have to remove various components of the bike just to get to the wiring loom. Sorry, I've lost the link for this, but you might be able to find the instructions by searching for 'FZ6 dual headlight mod'.

Note: it differs from country to country, but in the UK (for example), the dual headlight mod will result in an immediate MOT failure. Therefore, you will need to remember to disconnect the mod prior to MOT inspection.

SOURCE: Sparks from wire leading to ignition coil.

Is the coil properly grounded, sounds like its finding an alternative ground, make sure the metal of the coil where it is bolted to the frame makes good electrical contact with the frame, unbolt it and clean up the metal on the frame and coil with emery paper, dab grease on the metal contact of the coil and bolt it back to the frame - see if the problem persists.

Testimonial: "See above. Thanks."

Hi,where is the main fuse on an 06 Huskvarna 151 please.I fitted a new a new ignition as the old one fell apart with use but now i have complete electrical failure

Follow the large group of wires from the switch into the wire loom (wire covering). There should be a 20A fuse and holder protruding somewhere along the loom. If not, open the loom and locate.

You could also follow the smaller red wire from the starter solenoid back into the same loom towards the switch. This wire is the fused feed to the switch.

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi mirage and my left turn signal on the rear stays on when I switch the head lights on I switch out all the bulbs and put a new, headlight -turn signal switch combo on so what else...

It sounds like a bad earth connection in the vehicle rear wiring loom. If you have a multimeter test for continuity of the earth wires with the globes removed to prevent any false readings. Check the earth wire that runs from the all the globe sockets in the left hand light unit and any connector blocks in the wiring loom near the light assemblies as well as where the earth wire is attached to the body. If necessary, remove, clean thoroughly by removing any corrosion or paint and re-attach securely.

I experienced a recent front end collision. After replacing the right head lamp assembly the lamp is very dim when on. I switched out lamps - connected right (dim) lamp with the left and it lights...

Sounds like a bad Earth connection. Check for a poor/loose Earth wire bolt inside the engine bay near the head lights. Also check any of the plastic block connectors in the wiring loom for the head lights. Sometimes the metal spade connections are not secured properly within the plastic block and can be pushed back when the plastic blocks are joined together.

Hi, I have a honda 2004 VTX 1300S That will not start unless I turn the bars all the way to the left and then hold the started button in and then start turning the bars to the right and when it gets about...

You may have a break in the wiring loom around where it passes the steering yokes.
Turning slightly re-connects the break.
Try opening the grip switch unit to test the wire from the start switch to the solenoid, and from the switch to fuse/ignition/battery.
Could also just be a bad connection in the swutch unit.
