Any help please! :???:

That would be your hydraulics for when you want to get your gangster lean on. :D

No seriously, not a clue. I've never noticed that on a pointy before. Some sort of lighting modification maybe?

Heated grips? Trace the wire, see where it goes xGx

Looks like a fog light switch.

Previous owner could have installed lower mounted 'bullet' lights

I would go with that. And no, its not a silly question. We have asked far sillier questions. Like"my bike isn't starting, how do I ... oh, I found the keys!" :D

Hi, only had the bike couple of days so still getting used to all the shananagins that goes with it! Looks like i need a new battery but for what I paid for the bike i dont mind footing the bill for that! lol Thanks for all the ideas! Will look into it!

Re: New to Biking
 

Just traced the wire as suggested......looks like heated grips! there is a flat wire going to both sides and disappearing under the grips! I guess a wire going to the grips is not standard???

Worth checking if it is directly connected to battery or via ignition as it may be the cause of your battery schenanigens!
