Led headlight causes engine miss
Okay. So, yes I have a battery. I have double checked all nearby connectors and looked for rubbed wires. I've moved the led driver away from the other wires, and tied everything down tightly. I checked battery connections and they are clean and tight. The miss goes away with a halogen bulb. It's sporadic and only happens on high beam with the led.
Also, the led has a fan to cool the circuit board. Maybe that's causing it issue?

Ah, a cooling fan. Until you mentioned that and I did some reading, I wasn't aware that some LED units used cooling fans. I think you're on to something with the cooling fan idea. I have no idea what kind of field might be around that unit. I know there are some kind of sine wave devices that can measure such, but it's beyond my pay grade. Plus, you may have to do some kind of output/draw measurement on that unit on highbeam.
Oddly enough, the company says they have never heard of it effecting the ignition system on a bike, but I may see if there is something to isolate the signals feeding back through.
Well you could try a electrical choke on the wire going to the headlight. That would take most spikes out.
You can by one, they are found on a lot of electronic cables you get to charge batteries on cameras, usb's, etc. It is the big black thing in the cable.
Basically a nail with a lot of tightly wound wire wrapped around it.
Or radio shack.
