Probably been asked and answered many times here (can't find the relevant thread if it has), but how can the low beam be turned on without running the engine?

On my 04 if you start the engine then stop it on the stop switch and not the key the dip stays on.

I ride into my garage, stop the engine with the kill switch (leaving ignition on): lights turn off. I get off the bike, push it forward a little: lights come back on.
So, the trick seems to be that the lights are somehow tied to forward movement of the bike, even if engine is not running. I guess it's a safety feature: if your engine quits while you are riding, your lights would keep working until you come to a stop.

Great - it worked fine, many thanks!

On my 06 if you put the side stand down while in gear it kills the engine but headlight stays on. (For about 30 minutes then the battery is flat!!!!)
Turn off headlight on 08 GS?
It seems that the 08 GS and maybe others cannot be run without the headlight being on.
Is there any way to avoid this?
In addition to it hammering the battery on start up the crew of the local ferry company go ape sh.. if you try to ride your vehicle on to the ferry with your lights on.
