Default Lights

I know this is a common problem with the F4i's, but my headlights wont turn on. The running lights do, but I can't seem to get my headlights to stay on. I did a search on the problem and many have said that the ground wire needs re-soldered on the ignition switch. I just looked there and everything seems to have a solid connection. Anyone have any pic's of this wire so I can make sure that I am checking the correct one? Or can anyone else set me in a new direction?
Thanks.

I haven't heard much on the subject so I don't think it is all that common of a problem. You might try taking off the front fairing but leave it dangling so you can wiggle connections. You might have a short in either the bulb connectors or in the wiring harness.

I had this problem and it was the left wire (The wire closest to the bike) in the ignition switch that looked ok at first glance but wasnt connected at all.

Any where I can get a wiring diagram so I can see if we are referencing the same part or not.
