My 1994 BMW K75 is the same way.
Obviously, if things are different, then things are different. Good news for me. I don’t want that headlight on until the motor is running anyway. Once the bike is in running condition and the weather isn’t too freezing and the tons of ice have melted, I may consider a MOSFET regulator/rectifier Roadstercycle.com. They work better at low RPM and they run cooler. The stock r/r is tech from the 1960s.
