Headlight: brights, but no running light

[Sean]

So after the track day, I put my fuses back in and it seems that the normal running headlights don't work. Tail, break and turnsignals are all fine. While the normal running headlight doesn't work, I can switch the brights on to work just fine. Is it:

1. One of the elements burnt out in my headlight?
= get a new bulb
2. Some sort of wire shorted out?
= start following wires
3. Am I so fast that I always ride at the speed of light?
= slow down
4. Any other possibilities?

Thanks for any tips.

I would say get a new bulb its the cheapest and easiest fix to try

# 3 ?? ... Yes, slow down ...

The same thing happened to me, I just needed to change out the bulb...

Thanks. Didn't know if it was normal or just the "magic" of the R6 electrical system.

I was riding up to Blackhawk about a month or so ago and noticed how dull my lights seemed next to an '07... they were just old I guess so I changed them both out last weekend. Now I just need to test them out at night... ... lol

Anyway, hopefully that solves your problem !

Do you have a multimeter? Check for voltage at the light socket.
