Re: F4i problem
Headlight is already on a switch. As I mentioned above, the fuel pump primes but the bike wont attempt to kick over. I havent had a chance to look at anything yet but I'll check it out later tonight probably.

Re: F4i problem
Your headlight fuse is affecting the SPARK for the bike.....This is why your fuel pump primes, bike turns over, but it doesnt SPARK....As which we all know, spark + fuel is RUN.....I honestly have no clue why the headlight fuse blowing is causing the sprak to die. But i would be willing to bet that somewhere in your wiring harness a wire from the headlights and a wire for your coils is crossing. Causing the headlights to blow the fuse since that fuse is the smallest one, its gonna blow first.....=-)
PS: We cant just blaim the headlights. Since the headlights, blinkers, tach, tip sensor, fan and several other parts share the same GROUND wire. One problem with that ground wire anywhere in the wiring and it could cause the headlight fuse to blow...Anything is possible when it comes to a circuit.....=-)
PS: Have you tried jumping a wire over the fuse block. Just to see if it would run without melting the wire. Also have you tried a bigger fuse....Neither of these is the BEST thing to do, but im just throwing some ideas...=-)

Re: F4i problem
neals right you disconnected your tip over switch when you took off the upper , just connect the two out side wires for the tip over and that will by pass it
