Problem is im getting very low power to the headlight when turned on, only about half a volt. Question is, are there any other switches between the left handlebar switch and the battery? (I'm not getting any voltage at left handlebar switch, and the fuse is fine but im not getting any power across the fuse port either, not sure if its supposed to or not, im more on the mechanical side, not electrical)
all of the f2s have 4 wires, two blue, one white and one green as far as low power if you look at the haynes manual it has all kinds of schematics to show you what is what, that and a multimeter is going to be the best way to diagnose what is going on, because it will show you all the points to check so you can pinpoint your issue.
