Starter issues..
Well I have read all kinds of threads with how to wire an additional relay into the starting system. I am not the sharpest knife in the drawer when it come to electrical. Does anyone have any kind of diagram showing how to do this. I have a 2000 RG with a107 higher compression, I do have compression releases on the heads. I have a new battery and new starter, but every once in while the dreaded click. I picked up a new relay today and will be putting that in tomorrow, also checking the connections as I go. I cracked a circuit breaker while doing this, so will go get one tomorrow as well. As mentioned, a diagram would sure help me out.
Also should I put a switch in line, so that I can turn off the headlight while starting the bike. I know that draws a lot of juice, it doesn't take long and the volts are down if I leave the bike ignition on and don't start the bike right away.
Thanks everyone.

a sharper knife could wire in a relay which would kill the lights for you when the starter is cranking- save that project for another time, but i thought I'd mention it.
you could put one of these on :

it'll bypass the starter switch, relay and associated wiring.
as always make sure the battery cables are in good shape ( no "powder" coming out when you tap them on a table) and clean and tight connections at both ends.

It was a rider from the Uk took that ride- hope the coyotes didn't eat him.
crane cams has the wiring diagram on their website...somewhere- it was a popular option on the evo's with the hi4E ignition.
basically 87A is always energised, when you hit the button, power is removed from 87A.
you would use this to control the lights, either directly OR better, to control a relay which is controlling the lights
