does this work
it wont let me post anything longer then this or else it says connection not able to be established

 

Do you any of you have this problem? My HID strobes when bike wasn't previously on and you turn the key to on.

 

Seems like the ballast isnt getting enough power so it automatically shuts itself off and tries to restart again.

 

This happened with my old ballast too it actually burnt one out. And the new one does the same Thing its not an voltage problem. The voltage when off is a constant 12.45 even when turned on.

 

I have a 01 f4i sorry for the million posts it wont let me post 1 long message if a mod can combine these that would be awesome too
thanks
any input would be awesome

 

lol. try replacing the 10 amp headlight fuse with a 30 amp fuse.

 

No, no, no. This will do nothing except make it easier for you to damage your bike in the event of an electrical short.

It just must be the way the ballast is functioning. I've seen my friends 1000RR do the same thing, and he's had his HIDs for a couple years.

 

Well it's still been going strong for a year since i've installed them with a 30 amp fuse

 

A fuse is a safety point on a power line. It's designed to blow when a large current passes through it in excess of what the fuse is rated for. If you put a fuse that's higher than the current draw of whatever you're using, you're going to allow much more current through the wire in the event of a short or other problem before the fuse blows, which can cause damage to anything hooked up to that wire, or even melt the wire itself.

 

The rule of thumb for fuses is to figure out the amperage of whatever you are running, and get a fuse that is as close to that as possible. I've used the stock 10A fuse with both single and du-al HIDs with no problems.
