Does anyone know if there is a power source that you can run the light off rather than just hooking to the battery and having to shut the light off manually all the time? Or a power source you could hook a relay too and still hook the headlight to the battery and it would only come on when the bike was running?

Thanks for any help

Not sure about the FX, but on 450F's there is a tuner connector that you can tap into. Check out jethro450's youtube video.

Thanks Guys, did some more research and there are 4 brown wires that go into a comon plug on the left side of the bike down by the battery (kinda along side the rear fender). There are 2 empty slots in the plug and you can add wires (for Power) when you hit the start button they are powered on and when you shut the bike off it takes about 3 mins and they power off (No Power till you start the bike) as a side note, if you want to test it or need your lite on for a couple mins without the bike running you can just touch the start button for a split second and there will be power for 3 mins so your lite will work. COOL !
