 +====== Headlight OFF When Starting ======
 +
 +Here's a scheme for keeping the headlight off while you start your bike. You must have the headlight switch on HiBeam when you turn the keyswitch ON. Then you start the bike. Once started, you turn your headlight switch to LoBeam & the lights will not operate as normal, until you turn off the keyswitch.
 +
 +The circuit uses commonly available parts - Relay, diodes & headlight extension harness. The circuit keeps power off the relay (contacts to the HiBeam open) until you switch to LoBeam. The only concern is that the relay operates all the time when the headlights are ON.
