Gsxr 750 w 1100 w dipped beam

[Spadge]

Hi all, 

I've been adapting the wiring at the lights on my Gsxr 750w make the it suit a street fighter style.  This is what I've done so far:

 

-Cut one of the plugs (originally there were two plugs for two  headlights). My understanding is that these were originally H4 bulbs 55/60w, with both lights on at dipped and main beam. My though process was that the second plug would not be necessary as one feeds the other in parallel so there should still be power there if I lose a plug. 

When  I wired it all up and tested it I'm only getting main beam, no dipped headlight at all. 

Am I missing anything obvious here? Does the bike need to be fired to enable dipped beam or something daft like that? Pretty confident the loom is OK. 

 

The pic shows the headlight loom I made attached to the headlight

yes. if that white wire is the dip then its in the wrong place. swap it with the black /white wire. the middle connector is the earth.

[Madb]

oh and the black/white wire connects to the side light too.

no it's not

yellow and white might be the other way round on Suzukis (not sure) but ground is definitely on the side

Suzuki's wire diagram shows B/w wire is in the middle. maybe then spadge has the high and low beam wires wrong way round or his dip beam is blown?

wiring diagram means nothing as far as the location of wires is concerned, just which wire is connected to which wire.

i haven't looked on my bike, just had the manual to hand. guessing spadge needs to get the mutli meter out.

[Madb]

just found this. explains a lot.  bloody manufacture's. can't keep anything standard.

Thanks for all your responses. I got it sorted in the end. There was a terminal, on the switch connector for dipped headlights, which appears to have had some heat damage at some point. This had caused the male and female terminals to not mate properly. Pinched the female terminal with pliers and it worked.
