[QUOTE="KnuckleHead, post: 535862, member: 11450"] Well, that could very well be. I am sure that it is a problem with the power at start up. For whatever reason there isn't enough to fire up the lights and the starter at the same time. It is possible that it is the battery, but I doubt it as (1) it is barely a year old, (2) it has done this since I put the HIDs in a week after I got the bike new, and (3) it does it even after being on the battery tender for a week or more. When trying to figure out the install, I searched google for posts regarding the relay and found a thread on the Hayabusa forums. There are a bunch of guys over there that have had the same problem and have resolved it with this relay. I think it just comes down to too much power draw at start up for the battery. You don't see it on cars with aftermarket HIDs because they have bigger batteries and the lights don't come on right at start up. Anyway, time will tell if this is ther real fix...so far so good.
