Head light died
#11
(07-20-2020, 10:58 AM)Cormanus_imp Wrote: Pterodactyl has had some problems with his low beam as a result of a dirty connection in the starter switch in the throttle grip. I think it's because there's a circuit that switches the head light off as the bike cranks. He's had dirt in there which has resulted in the light not coming on again after the bike has started. I can't remember now whether it affects the high beam.

Thank you will look to clean area

The high beam indicator now comes on whether on high or low beam because both circuits are connected inside the bulb on the ground side. So you'll get power to the high beam indicator all the time, but no high or low beam because the bulb itself is not grounded.

I'd look for a bad ground wire connection (green) outside the headlight. Don't blame the bike if you've been adding accessories or prowling around inside the headlight case. Idea
is the grean wire inside the head lightbowl and accesable if the screws opened?
Thank you
