Hi thanks for your reply , I'm putting the battery feed to the hi/low switch, I think there a 5 wires in the switch , i will check tomorrow , and yes it's a 3 position switch . I think the extra wires work the dash light , and the rear light .
so one for , tall light , dash , side lights , live feed to hi/low . Dash light , rear light , side lights all work , head light doesn't. Bulbs are ok (there are 2 headlights) .
I'm going to battery feed each of the lives tomoz and see which wire does what . The switch it's self is absolute garbage . Vey flimsy , loose as hell but seems to function , well to a point. The indicator switch is just as bad , Kinda of rattles around , I think I may have to replace the switchgear to be fair which is crazy for a 2008 bike , my 1991 fj1200 works just fine .lol.
thanks again,

Hey guys , new here , good forum .
OK . I have a Sachs SX1 (well my daughter does) and I`m having real issues with the lights . I bought it yesterday spares or repair as a non runner , apparently , which it wasn't , the engine was the least of the problems .
So I got it going , and now I can`t get the lighting working . The rear light works fine , The side lights work fine and the indicators work fine . The headlights on the other hand are not working.
I`ve tested the feed to the dip switch (high / low beam) and thats dead , I`ve tried running a feed to the dip switch from the rear light, something I would normally do to fix the prob if the wiring was gone , but it shorts. If I disconnect the lights on switch on the handlebars , then I can run a feed direct from the battery and both dipped and high beam are fine , if I reconnect the switch , it shorts .
In the switch itself , the BLACK wire appears to be the live and the BROWN is the ground , this seems bizzare to me , I have traced it all the way back to the ignition and it is indeed live all the way back .
I must say that someone has been in there with a soldering iron previously , so really I`m looking for a wiring diagram for this bike although I`m not holding out much hope on that .
Can anyone help me with this bizzare chinese nightmare ? I`m glad I ride a Jap bike ..lol
Thanks
