Why do you think I keep posting? laugh2

I found the problem. 15 amp fuse feeding headlights & indicators ( possibly others as well). 2 x 60w headlight bulbs=10 amps. I haven't had chance to check the spots, but assume the same wattage & we have 20 amps of lamp load alone nono
I'm going to disconnect the spots for the moment & later on add a relay & a feed from a separate fuse. There are un-used fuse ways, so I should be able to use one of those.

Any time cheers

This was a problem created by my dealer when he fitted the spots. Without spots, no problems.

Have you been to see yours yet, Neil?

I used to have twin spots on my Honda F1 400/4.
Flashing them knocked 5 mph of the speed!!

They had a relay fitted

I have pinged a note to the incredibly helpful BHM to alert them to the fuse/relay issue on the spots, so hopefully they can attend to that.

I haven't been to see mine, build started last week and I'm a bit unsure of when/how I should go see it. When it's in the trim shop is the consensus.

I'd agree with that. Your dealer should be able to tell you when it's there, or a call to the factory will give you a date.

Your dealer fitted spots without an extra relay, or additional fuse?
They want shooting! exting

I got around to changing the rear number plate mounting. At least it doesn't flap in the wind now laugh
