SLyFoXX Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Bike is an 02, the headlight is not coming on high beams either. I have tried a new bulb and checked fuse. The only other bit of info is when trun the key on and the bike cycle through the high beam indicater comes on during cycle and goes off like normal, but when running and I turm high beam on with switch the indicater light does noty come or the head light. Any ideas on where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockmeupto125 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 The switch assemblies......check and clean both left and right. Look for burned contacts, and clean them up with a point file or an emery board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXSIVSPD Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Are you running stock bulbs? I've been running some Xenon 100w bulbs (55w stock) & they create just enough heat to slightly warp that plastic terminal cup between each bulb & it's harness connector. This has also caused things to corrode a bit more quickly. I have to clean them up every few years or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyFoXX Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 I will try the switch assembly first, question why both and not just the left one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon haney Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 If all the above looks good, check the head-light relay. Or is that the starter relay that turns the head-light off when you hit the starter button? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman_40 Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 I'd bet on the start button. It turns the headlight off when you press it in. If the contacts get corroded the light won't come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's how they make that work. :icon_think: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLyFoXX Posted August 7, 2010 Author Share Posted August 7, 2010 It was the starter switch assemble, really did not look that bad but cleaned it up and it worked! One thing I did notice prior and as I was cleaning the starter switch is that the started did stick a little before I disassemble and cleaned it up. Now if I notice it sticking a bit again I will clean it prior to the headlight not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
