Hi!
This is my first post here, but I have been reading for a couple of years and gotten plenty of help from all the threads. Thanks for that!
I have a 1982 KZ1000J (bought 3 years ago) that I am slowly bringing back to decent condition. Gathering missing parts, refurbishing parts etc.
I have a strange problem. My low beam stalls the engine instantly, high beam or position lights no problem. Doesnt interfere with idle at all. If I put some rpm on the engine, its possible to have low beam on.
I have checked connectors, cleaned grounds and cleaned both the right and left light switches by completely taking them apart.
Low beam measures 4 amps, and high beam 4,7 amps.
As I understand, the left switch is feeded by the right switch, so low and high beam has the same source.
I just found something that looks wierd, and cables that I cant really track in my electrical diagram (clymer).
A red-yellow cable (same color as low beam) from the main harness is connected to a blue-yellow (or white) cable.Its connected to what looks like a relay on the right side of the battery? What is this? (possibly the integrated circuit ignitor unit?)
With low beam on, this connection (R/Y -> Blue) measures 10+v., high beam nothing.
What have they connected to the low beam!?
I attached pictures of the suspicious connections.
thanks!
