I see this mentioned often but I am not sure if it is necessary for the touring models. Can someone enlighten me.
 
Does anyone know if Triumph has made any changes on the newer model roadsters, Or is this relay still necessary?
 
Hmm, does that mean my 2010 R3R will need tis done too?
The dealer did a relay recall on something but I don't know what.
 
fellas,

tere was a recall done to my 2010 Roadster. they fitted a triumph version of the EB kit. I had an auto elec look at it and he said my EB kit was superfluous after what they had done.

I would assume if they issued a recall and resolved the matter any new bikes would have this as a standard upgrade.

The Triumph recall fix uses just one relay while it takes the load of the ignition switch it puts the load onto another switch (another form of resistance) and goes thru the hi/low beam switch, it would be advisable to make sure that the hi/low switch is kept in good condition by keeping it lubed with Dielectric grease to keep moisture and dust etc of the contacts.
I still think the twin relay set up as Eastern Beaver uses and I to use is going to be better in the long run if running normal headlights, in the case of Ponters with his LED (Speaker) head lights he will have no issues as they draw only a fraction of the power


So in answer to your original question Tony(Mittzy) look after your hi/low beam switch or do as Ponters has and I will (another of my want to do things) and get the Speaker LED head lights

P.S. I can make you one of the twin relay harnesses if you like, Mitch is my helper up there, I have told Mitch over phone where the hook up points are so he can help you fit it if you want one, just let me know and I will whip you up one
 
I put relays on my '13 R3R just to take the load off any of the switches. It DID make make the headlights noticeably brighter but not dramatically so. It DID reduce the load through any of the switches to only the amount required to throw the relay, which is a lot less than it takes to run the lights. IMHO the R3R needs a relay kit and LED headlights...the Triumph ones suck.
