According to the clymer manual, the 86-90 Radian and FZ600 are essentially the same bike.Skier wrote:Yep. Some bikes don't cut the headlight, though - my '89 Suzuki Katana doesn't, but my '86 Yamaha Radian does.xgabriel wrote:Interesting thought.

If the switch thinks it's being pushed enough to kill your headlight but not enough to crank the starter, it could be your problem.

After a quick clean, this is no longer a problem.
