Headlight dimmer switch
High beam position - NOT WORKING, no blue indicator
Low beam position - working
Passing light control switch headlight.
Flashes the high beam headlight - working - yes/blue indicator

Noticed earlier after getting the bike home, just now investigating.
USED 2017 EX, low mileage bike.
Anyone else experience this ….
Still under warranty.

Thanks,

Something in the switch, maybe? Disassemble it and give it a clean?
I would recommend taking it to the dealer for the repair under warranty.
Even better idea. I don’t know how I missed that important sentence. Huh

Normally I would agree with Cormanus and dig into the switch, since the passing light works. But as it's a safety issue, the Honda dealer would likely replace that $145 switch. And if it's the LED headlight unit itself, that's over $1100.

Sometimes, when there is evidence of tampering, a service manager can deny warranty coverage.

Amazon has them for $1116.75, but shipping's free. And it's such a crappy light.

Hmmm, maybe I should order a spare headlight, just in case.
