No headlights last night!

Post by The Usual Suspect »

Riding home from Hemet on the Ramona Expway and then :yikes: ! No headlights. U-turned back and left Bike at GFs house. Checked fuse and it was ok. SO I'm guessing Relay??? Is there a headlight relay? And where is it? What it look like?

Sometimes the starter button gets stuck or the wires come loose inside the control housing. I'd check that out.

That is a real possibility, I've been through 2. Usually if you put a little upward pressure on it, the light will come back. I never leave home without a rubber band. lol

I second all of this. You'll probably find some re soldering is in order. Easy fix. I thought I was going to have to do this but it turned out the battery had drained over a week. Check your voltage too. But probably the switch.

What bothered me was that my hl would come on with the ignition but then when I hit the starter switch and the bike cranked it would turn them off. I didn't know at first that the starter switch was the culprit so when I took it apart and didn't see anything wrong I got ticked off. Came to the forum and did a search and viola. So "what would people do without internet forums" to quote my dad "Hell, internet. Ha we just figured s**t out ourselves.... we didn't have fancy lazy-a** internet to tell us everything. You kids have it so ea........" He trailed off and I started using the impact wrench on something. Haha.
