Thanks for the replies, would have replied earlier but been tied up with stuff.
First off thanks to Karlo, especially for the diagram, should have really known it was a fused relay box but then it was half dark when I was doing it and rushing although have to say I didn't even notice the markings on it even when I uploaded the photo so should be paying more attention but suppose that is what I get when I start a job on my bike and then have to drop that to fix the sister in laws scooter so she can use it for work probably been better off leaving everything off mine till the next morning rather than doing it in the semi dark. :rolleyes
Thanks AdieR for the heads up on the wiring. It has got heated grips on it and have all been wired in correctly with a separate in-line fuse, probably him that removed the fuse out the relay so it was back as standard as from what I gather the previous owner liked everything as standard so guessing it was the first owner that fitted the Mod.
I have got a multimeter, well got 2 one small one I use for the bikes and a expensive one that I use on other stuff. Think I will do as you suggested and have the tank back off at the weekend once I run the fuel down tomorrow and get the meter on it see where it leads me as I just want to know what it was wired into as I plan on stripping it all out. Funny you mentioned the green wire and the headlight relay as the wire they out in goes straight past that. :lol
Going to try the fuse at the tomorrow night DanielT, all the ones off my old bike where mini blade and only ones on this I think are the in-line for the heated grips and didn't want to go out and buy a load of fuses when I knew I had a box of standard size somewhere and found them in the shed today so stick a fuse in it and see what happens.
Am going to eventually strip it out and stick to using the 100% or 120% brighter bulbs as I have before, even though it's not working at the moment I'm a bit fussy with having wires or anything that do nothing just on there, plus a couple of other reasons one of which is in the small print of my insurance and a lot today it states the insurance will be invalid if any modification to the wiring has been carried out unless it is an approved product such as the heated grips so they could and most likely would argue that the manufacturer did not class this as an approve Mod.
Apart from that I'm not that bothered, thinking about it the blue (black sleeved) wire goes from the headlight to the relay then on to the battery, the red wire is spliced in from the 3 wire connector on to the relay and then the battery so not like it is completing a circuit it's straight through, guess the person just decided to use a relay instead of the Mod described on here using the green wire.
Thanks for the replies anyway will let you know the outcome.
