Hello friends, hoping someone with more knowledge than I could help with a question!...

I have a TLR reflex that I use for trials, however it is fully road legal as I need to ride to my spots. 

Is there any way one could install some kind of switch to essentially turn the 'lighting' circuit off but keep the bike running? i was told it runs 2 seperate circuits.... Currently the woods are mid winter bare and the lack of leaf cover makes me quite visible to passers by (cop callers).  Thealways on  headlight esp can be seen a mile off!  just wondering if one could install a 'stealth' option...has anyone done this? Not sure where in the wiring one would put it or if it's even possible?

Thank you so much in advance for any help!..Johnny in NY 

Simple solution would be to simply occlude it.  Black duct tape 😎

 

Thanks Lemur! its the rear tail light too - and as i do use it on the road as a daily beater duct tape is not super practical...(but agreed a simple solution!)  perhaps some kind of slip on / slip off 'occluding cover' is the way forward.  might be easier! appreciate you. hope all's well with you  

You could maybe try unplugging the White to White/Yellow wire coming out of the engine.  Diagram appears to show it as being a dedicated  lighting coil output.  

I would have thought a switch in series with the main fuse would suffice as they don't need battery to run ignition I believe. But I stand to be corrected! 🙂

 

Thank you LSV! appreciate the advice... i have a neighbor up the street who is an old Harley petrol head...an electronics engineer by trade who before retiring used to install the radios and comms for police vehicles.  He has said he will help me and take a look. Also i have another problem as the rear tail light blinks when the indicators are on, so there is some of kind of grounding issue going on, be good to get it all sorted -  will keep you updated as to the results! all best, johnny

That does sound like what we would call a bad earth (grounding problem).
