Thanks Harald, Already have plans in motion to design and build a solid state solution using a MAX4544 Dual SPST/SPDT Analog Switch.
I will post details when the prototype is built and working.
Just be aware the yellow wire is the high beam signal. However, it is a low 0v signal, as reported above?
I plan to build a simple solid state switch to change the 0v high beam signal to the conventional 12v voltage.
In the mean time I have got the Skene controller to work by programming it...
I connected the white wire from the Skene controller to a yellow wire on the bike. If you look under the headlight unit from the front you will see two Headlight Control Units. To the left of the controllers is a cable comnector. There are several yellow wires accessible here.
Just finished installing a pair of auxiliary lights with a Skene controller on my 2016.
I found that the voltage level from the headlight switch is 12v in the dipped position, and 0v in the high beam position.
This is opposite to the voltage levels on bikes with conventional halogen...
Has any one fitted auxiliary lights using a Skene controller to their new 2016 yet? I'm wondering where to tap into the high beam voltage now that the headlamps are LED's.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers

I had already made up a temporary 12v cig plug connection to my Zumo mount. Just needed to install the M10*1.25 ram ball in the LH mirror mount. I did this while the store was completing the paperwork. All done while the bike was in the showroom. I did get some inquiring glances and a few...
2016 A, MSRP $16,390. I paid $15,200 + $90.25 Title/License/Reg + $150 Doc Fee + $1,322.40 WA sales tax. (no dealer prep or freight)
My OTD price was $16,762.65
This has probably been posted before. It just appeared on my FB feed in the FJR Enthusiasts group.

Had a great time at the tech meet even though I was on four wheels instead of two.
Thanks to Bryan and Marissa our gracious hosts yet again.
Here are some of my photo's from the day.
