I was sorting out the datatool gps as the new speedohealer messed up the calibration .
I was also chasing down that loose headlight connection , so the cockpit was pretty much bare .
So , as I was changing gear for the set up I noticed every time I pulled in the clutch the high beam would flash .. WTF ?
I had recently put on a Brembo RCS16 clutch m/s , so I switched the wires , unplugged both wires , still flashing the high beam ..Weird .. Stood there ... lost . Started to think what else could be causing it .. I found out eventually .

Post up your answer .. First correct answer wins a week living with Rubberducky .. Second correct answer .... Wins TWO weeks lol ...

Only thing I can remotely think.. 1 is the wires are tapped wrong which you said are not the cause.. Only other I can think is the clutch lever hitting the flash to pass button on the switch block.

You were pressing the yellow button for the pass light when you pulled the lever.

Yes we have a winner .. too stupid to believe until I saw what was happening , when I pulled in the lever it was touching the pass button , just pushed in down a little , problem solved ..

You win first prize , unless you , of course , want to donate it to someone more deserving .. lol ..

I think I can safely say he's thrilled at the prospect .. He even asked should he bring any board games , I told him I didn't think he'd have the time , but being 'bored' was definately on the cards ..

Have I ever stood there scratching my head....???? Many times and sometimes over the smallest, stupid thing.

I recall one time I changed out the coil on my CR250R..after putting it all together, it wouldn't start...I thought 'what the heck now?' I took it all apart again and after a close look, I noted I didn't click the connector all the way in. I grabbed it and heard a "click" when it snapped together....it was a good feeling to find the issue but for a time there it was a real brain stumper....

Another time, I was working on my son's GSX750F for him as it was running like crap....thinking it was carburetion, I was messing with those trying to get it to run properly...after a while I decided to check the plugs thinking one of them was bad...he told me he just changed them but I thought I'd check anyway..

As soon as I got the tank off and went to take off the first plug wire.....I noticed it had the number 2 band on it and the second plug had the number 1 on it...I switched the plug wires, put the tank on loosely and started the bike....it ran like it was brand new.....
