Mine '01 is the same....headlight only comes on when the bike is actually running....Mine also has a glitch in that the right turn signal comes on when I first turn on the key.....happens every time...weird

Ok so I have my first Drifter and its an 01. The previous owner replaced the stock Headlight with a generic one.
The Headlight only comes on when the bike is running not when the key is turned on. Is this normal for this bike?
Any Help appreciated

Yes that is normal.

I would say that is not normal. My bike (both of them in fact) the head light comes on when the key is turned on because the headlight is running off the battery.  on your bike it's running off of the stator?
