If you want to connect to the ignition plus signal, you can do it to a wire which under the tank (on the right side). There is a square plug which is used with the Yamaha alarm (not imported in France, I don't know for US)
The plug :
Pic was taken on my previous bike but the plug is the same on all Yamaha.
You can use the 87 wire.
We've use it to connect heated hand grips on a friend's bike, I connected my Gi Pro and it works well.
You don't touch to the original beam so no problem with warranty.

Just pull off the headlight shroud and find the ground wire that goes to the headlight. Wire in a 2 way switch to that and you should be fine.
I question why you would want to do this though. Apart from making yourself more vunerable, in most states, and Illinois is one of them, headlights are required to be on at all times on any motorcycle made after 1978.

Gotcha, that makes sense then.

Well then I'd just grind the VIN number off and make it say that the bike was manufactured in 1977. Easy!
I'm sure insurance would be soooo much cheaper too. It's a win-win.
