The brown wire is the main wire between the ign s/w and fusebox. So Irrc it carries all the switched circuits at the fusebox. besides the wire being wimpy, barrel type connectors aren't that great.
As Bill said - add a relay in the headlight circuit to take some load off. Especially if you have a higher wattage bulb.
Don't forget to clean and crimp the connector tighter.

I couldn't find in the archives, but wasn't there a rewiring solution for the too-narrow gauge main wiring (brown)? IIRC, it involved wiring in a relay.
Any listers recall this? It's come up because I was going over the bike and saw some corrosion. She'll still start an run ok, but I'd rather not be surprised.
