well i plan to keep the bike over 2 yrs, and i'm not so worried about a battery every 2 yrs. but i;d hate for it to mess w/ all the electronics these bikes have nowadays. engine mode and FI primarily.
?, if i get the wiring harness that comes straight off the battery, you think i still need a timer relay? i wouldn;t think so cuz it;s coming straight off the batt.

Yeah, it's better to hook these to the battery directly just to be safe. Something like the ballasts are better to keep seperate from wiring harness, but I have never heard of anyone smoking their harness yet. You really never know til it happens to you though.

I know some Buells that have melted their stock connector on the harness without a relay.

DDM says it's up to me, to keep the receipt from the purchase, cuz they ask for it on their RMA form.
i may just buy a set of bulbs, and basically have 1 on the car and 1 backup they're only like $25/set. kinda sucky cuz they've over a yr old......and i dunno if i can find the old receipt.

so i was at trips fav. store pickin up some stuff.
i had read on the busa board, diff members trying a diff startup sequence which the light would only turn ON after the bike was started i did it 3-4 times, and i can't figure out the proper sequence. so i left i noticed that my clock had reset. so now i plan to wire up a harness that a friend has AND put the timer in..
