BD43,
The harness came yesterday and I put it on this afternoon. It took me about 2 1/2 hours and I must say it's very nice. Thanks for the quality work. Great product and another satisfied customer!

I have a question about this mod I haven't seen elsewhere.

To do this, you need to remove the battery. Isn't that going to play havoc with my alarm/immobiliser? Am I going to have to re-program all of it? That would REALLY suck if I have to do that.

Has anyone else had any trouble with the immobiliser while doing this mod? Is there anything I need to know before I screw up my bike?

I've done the mod on Tue, using limited local resources.
Cos it too costly for Mr. Yamaha to send me the harness...

Anyway, super mod !!! Once again thanks duke for the wonderful info...

Doorag--my bike has a Scorpio alarm hooked to the battery. When I removed the alarm from the battery...no problem. When I put it back it chirped once or twice, but I did not have to do any re-programming. It worked fine once I got everything put back together.

This headlight mod is by far the most professional. I'm chuffed to bits with the result! Thanks for taking the time to research and document the procedure.

Start putting everything back together. Put the connector halves back in the boot, tuck inside the frame, move the battery box back into position, and install air box on top. Note the special bolt used to hold down the battery box.



The test. Picture shows switch on low beam, the right side headlight (picture left) is illuminating low beam filament.



The switch is now flipped to high beam. The right side headlight (picture left) high beam filament is illuminated while the low beam filament is now off or non-illuminated.



That concludes the mod. Once the wire harness was made, not a lot of time was spent on the bike itself. Hopefully this is of use to someone.

Hi Daryl,

Have you any of these excellent harnesses left or are you still in production, I would very much like to buy one from you if you could tell me how to go about this and how much this service would be it would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards

Hi Daryl,
I finally did it today, its much lighter in the evenings.
I managed to install the wiring harness and an external power out let in 32 minutes flat. I only used the tools that came under the seat.
Yes ladies and gents I will accept your applause and admiration........................................ .................................................. ....................It took me 52 minutes to get the feking air box back on. I could not seat it right. I was so pi55ed off that I went for a cup of coffee to calm down. I losened all of the clamps, but it would still not go on.
In desperation I swore loudly several time in fact. Then it just popped on.
I think that I did not have it completely level.
On the plus side it rocks (thaks BD) I now have external power for my twat nav. I am confident in removing some of the body work, and have a better mechanical knowlwge of my machine, I have two headlights that work.
The only negative is that the little lugg snapped off the right light conector when I slid the final part in. Its not a biggie and easy to fix.
The wiring diagram pics that you posted on the thread are exactly the same for my 2005 as your origional diagram. I have datatool alarm and Yamaha imobiliser fitted. I was really concerned if this would screw the bike up. No problem what so ever. Lesson, if you want to nick an FZ6 (UK model) just cut the battery wires) Thanks so much guys,in partiular Biker Dude

Much indebted to you.
