Is it me or is the High Low Bean a pain in the .....

It's you.

I've never had an issue

I had done it a few times when I first got the bike. Moved my left hand half an inch to the left and haven't done it since.

Its my gloves

If I wear thick winter gloves then yes I do catch the main beam, but rarely in my summer gloves!

Did this a ton when I got my Streetfighter a few years ago. I was constantly flashing my brights accidentally. Finally just got used to it. The Scrambler has the same kind of hand controls so I didn't have any trouble switching from one to the other.

Yep, I usually knock it on almost every ride. No big deal though, just tap it off.

What I did was cut the little plastic nub off the controls that goes into the handlebars, so I could put them exactly where I needed. Just take the controls off the handlebars (3 Allen head screws) and slice the little nub off with a razorblade. It forces it to be in the wrong location in my opinion and they do not move around without it, I was worried about that but its no problem.

im not sure how to tune the high beam on to be honest, is that switch above the indicator button ? If not what is that switch cause it dont seem to do nuffing

What I noticed, is that the position of your left hand (mine at least) is largely defined by where the clutch lever is.

Saw that this week when I felt I was riding the bar end with my left hand. Moved the clutch perch half an inch in, and now I'm gripping the left side I should.

(so if you're hitting the high beam thingy too often, you could try how sliding the clutch perch to the left works for you)

I have moved the Handlebars a bit more upright, has helped a bit, I may try spikeymikes or cutting the plastic pin off so I can rotate the whole switchgear.

It's not just you, I have the same problem.

Well I have moved the handlebars back a bit as they were a bit too much upright, I had a look at cutting the plastic nobble off but if it cut it off I think the whole thing will rotate as the nobble is stopping the rotation. grrrrrrrrr no win situation with this one

If you make a really good job of cutting the locating pin (nobble) then there is a chance the switch can rotate. Leave it very slightly proud and this will allow it to grip.
I've done it both by drilling new holes also not drilling and have no problems.

I do it too, quite often.

I just brought my new Icon home yesterday, and I am fairly sure I was doing the exact same thing.

I am coming to the Scrambler from 14 years of riding a BMW, and the turn signals on a BMW are totally different than any other bike. There is a little flappy paddle button on either handgrip to turn to that side, and a separate cancel button, so the standard turn signal switch on the Duc feels totally foreign to me. I realized partway through my 100 mile ride yesterday that I think I was pulling the little flashy trigger for the high beam every time I was trying to cancel my turns.

I'm sure I'll get used to it in time, but for now I just have to be conscious of it.
