    Fitted tail tidy today, so all at rear of bike wiring. But I notice when testing no headlamps lit -- do they only light when engine running? I know they are lit when I pull up at home from reflection in bedroom window but never noticed if they light with engine off. The tail light seems to, as do the indicator "side" lights, but no headlamps...checked fuse etc. all fine.
    Thanks

    Aappreciate that confirmation - was only thing that made sense but I could not find referenced in Owner Manual. Getting fairing off was fun.......but got there eventually.

    So can get ahead now and put it all back on tomorrow. Looks so much better with tail tidy.

    Thanks again.

    Drat.....I used that to drop fairings (invaluable) but did not spot the headlight answer.

    Brilliant. Thank very much, definitely worth storing...... I just downloaded.

    I have to put in Sat Nav feed and fitting a self-fitment datatool alarm too. I know they polarize opinion but this one fairly rudimentary, albeit noisy when triggered.

    With lockdown here in Wales, lots of time....

    Tyres, Oil, and alarms. All three always attract polarized opinions. But c'est la vie.
