Re: NC23 Highbeam mod help needed
merry christmas mate.....
i would have thought your bike would have had a high beam relay fitted!!!!
it is usually a low beam relay that is not fitted and is usually needed for running uk spec bulbs,when you use your lights and you put the full beam on do you get a clicking noise?
if you do then this is the relay you hear clicking.
the reason jap imports already have a full beam relay is jap spec bulbs are 60/35 so the full beam wattage is the same as uk spec so they require a relay for full beam but because the low beam is only 35w then they do not need a low beam relay.
i would first double check that you definately do not have the full beam relay,just check for the clicking noise whilst putting full beam on

Re: NC23 Highbeam mod help needed
there was a thread on here somewhere with a guide to doing the low beam relay,i think it is quite universal....not bike specific.i will try and find it but i know someone will give good info on this.

on the first page there is a diagram for doing the mod,it is on the diagram for the nc30 but it should give you a good idea.
funnily enough the thread was started by myself
