It's a 2007. I noticed that the light does work when the cycle is
running. However, it used to work without the engine running because I
did all of my pre-ride light checks without the engine running.
Someone else I know with the same cycle checked theirs and their
headlight only comes on when the cycle is running too. What is the
normal behavior?
