Hey Eric,
Are the head lights independent of the ignition switch? |
Not in the wiring diagrams. I believe that in order for the lights to be on
you need to have the ignition switched on.
| Where is the head light On/Off switch supposed to be? Mine is wired >into |
Left side of the handle bar is the light switch. On my older model Ambo
(which didn't have turn signals) just had lights on/off, high/low beam.
There also was a horn button. I don't know where the turn siganl switch
should be.
One thing I would recommend is that you get away from the original switch
box. Those things are expensive ($60) and not reliable. Best to put a later
style Yamaha one on (or something like that).
| Where are the headlight relays supposed to be? |
I suppose in the bucket? Does everyone recommend having one for the
headlight. I don't and I haven't had a problem yet.
Is the oil light supposed to go on at idle? (Not sure I want the answer to this one!) |
The light should not go on....but that doesn't mean that you are suffering
from low pressure. Could be an electrical issue. The oil pump is gear driven
so there has to be oil circulating
One question that I have is does the pressure switch measure pressue in the
crankcase or pressure in one of the channels heading up to the top end? I
would like to put an oil pressure meter on the bike. Anyone ever done that?
