On dip only the left light was on and visibility was awful. This morning I had a good look at the wiring with a multimeter. I found that the right light did have power on the dip beam but wasn't coming on . I waggled the plug and it worked. But the dip beam never goes off. When you put on high beam the right bulb has both filaments powered.
I plan to solve this with some extra relays and some thick cable direct from the battery.
Are you aware that as standard only the left light is on in the dip position. The right side has a H4 double filament bulb but only uses the high beam filament. As you observe the light is very poor! On yours it seems to me that someone has made not such a good job of wiring the dip connection from the left light to the redundant dip connect on the right. This is not the way to do it for as you say both filament on the H4 bulb are on together when the switch is in the high beam position. In the "articles" section on this site, under FZS600, there is a very good description of how you can fairly easily alter things so you get both dips on together only in the dip position.
