80slider Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Good Morning everyone, I'm new to your site and am finding it very rewarding so far. Thank you all. I'm restoring a '83 XJ750R. When I bought the bike it had a huge round headlight on it. The '82 I used to have had a square one on it so I've changed it out to the square one. I just downloaded the wireing diagram, and am wondering, Is the headlight to come on when you turn the key on or after the bike starts? I've tested the bulb and it's alright and the wires all seem to be ok. thanks stay safe.. chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my xj600 Divvy you turn the headlight on/off by a switch on the RH handlebar cluster. If you leave the headlight on when you turn the ignition off the headlight will go off, When you turn the ignition back on the headlight will come back on. If youv'e got a good battery that's fine, but if not I would suggest you turn the headlight off before turning the ignition off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
