My First Complaint About The Z

Lol! It's always a good idea to drive down the highway with your thumb on the gauge.

Yeah sitting in a dark garage with the brights on I can't tell (the highbeams themselves reflect off the cupboards and walls too much) but I'll let you know how much it irks me when I'm in the middle of nowhere and it's pitch black.

The high beam indicator is bright to the point that I won't use the high beams unless I really want to. I've had the same problem on a few Honda bikes I've owned. On my current bike I solved the problem but removing the dash plate and putting some cotton pulled from the end of a Q-tip between the bulb and the lens. This would be a much more complicated process on the Z - I doubt I'll tackle it unless I have some other reason to get inside the dash.

Yep, my VTX1300C has a bright indicator on the tank, that's bright enough to cause glare on the helmet visor.

I've thought about disconnecting it. When my brights are on, I'll know it.

Might do the same with the Z.
