If you follow this link, you will see the video our own Singhg5 made showing how to remove the short jumper that bypasses the headlight switch.
The video shows him removing the headlight in stages but if you've switched to the 7" light, just remove the front chrome ring and light to get inside the casquette.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhQUNMKRix4Long ago, I installed a voltage indicator on my 2011 G5.
It uses several different LED's to indicate the system voltage.
With the original small sealed beam headlight the LEDs indicated the voltage was always above 12 volts with the engine idling.
After changing the headlight to a 7" Lucas I notice the system voltage drops below 12 volts with the light on and the engine running. Revving the engine slightly raises the voltage back up into the 12-14 volt range depending on the engine speed.
The bottom line is, I think this is normal for the alternator that is used in the RE UCE engines.
Getting back to the headlight switch jumper, if you remove it and connect the remaining connectors back together, don't forget to turn your light on if your State's laws require it.
Also, if your motorcycle has to go thru a State Inspection, be sure to turn your headlight on before giving it to the inspector.
One of our members didn't do that so the inspector, not knowing the light switch even existed flunked the bike for not having a working headlight.
PS: While your watching that video notice Singhg5 has a large number of other videos available.
They are all for Royal Enfields and they are all excellent giving information which shows things from checking voltages to replacing the oil pump drive gear and crankshaft seal and more.
Check them out.
